SFW Ladders and Harness
This video demonstrates the vital importance of using best practices and maintaining safety with ladders and harnesses.
As a full scale home painting company, SFW Painting employs the use of ladders to conduct much of its painting and home restoration work. Because falls from ladders are one of the highest occupational hazards in the painting and construction industry, it’s crucial to train employees how to maintain safe practices at all times.
All ladders used by SFW Painting are kept in optimal condition, and when working near electricity sources, such as power lines and electric-powered equipment, fiberglass ladders are used to maintain safe working conditions.
While SFW Painting strives to always meet OSHA requirements for a fall restraint system, or some kind of a guard rail, when this is impossible they use a fall arrest system.
The fall arrest system includes a harness, safety line, and roof anchor. When used properly the fall arrest system provides protection for workers from harm that could be caused by falling or slipping on slanted roof surfaces or high ladders.
When used in conjunction with the fall arrest system, appropriate use of ladders and harnesses establishes a safe working environment and a secure work site.
