[QUOTE="VIKING, post: 1683526, member: 16840"] I understand what everyone is saying. It seems every job will start out with good safety rules and then start beating a good horse to death. But I will also say that I worked in power plant construction for 10 years during the 70's and I would certainly take today's rules over the way jobs were ran at that time. I worked 9 different power plant construction jobs and never worked one job that at least one person didn't get killed from a fall. The highest fall was 255 feet..I still remember it very well and the shortest fall was 5-1/2 foot..Yes a millwright helper feel off a 5-1/2 foot section of scaffold and killed himself graveyard dead..Like I said, I agree sometimes the safety rules get a severe case of dumb a$$ but I still think it's better than no rules at all.
