mostlygray posted:Unloading trucks on grade instead of at a dock sucks. Manual pallet jacks don't have brakes so I could see that happening if you're slightly down-grade. I only let my guys do that once when I was a warehouse manager. It was so sketchy that I forbade it afterwards. It's not worth it. Someone will get hurt. Does not most decent trucks have controllable pneumatic suspension which you can use to level the truck? Also good back lifts have stoppers you can deploy from stopping this from happening.  I guess they don't come on every back lift but they are worth the premium, even when unloading at docks if they're not at the correct height.

zedprime posted:The allowance for free climbing is supposedly backed up by incident reports on file which show injuries happen on a greater frequency when clipping in was required for ladders. It sort of makes sense with the realities of fall protection favoring falling from an overhanging surface like a scaffold or roof overhang, because otherwise conservation of angular momentum means even with an arrester you cartoon swing into a wall. A proper harness you can hang in for several hours without danger, you should have self rescue gear with you and never do work like that alone. Granted, if you have a broken limb or if otherwise incapacitated up in a tower you're hosed though. Kitting a worker out in proper climbing gear could run up to $2000 I guess but I'd never work for someone that didn't require it.

I'm sure they think the local version of osha is more of a suggestion.
