Corporate america has a term for job related fatalities called "Acceptable Loss" or in other words, just the cost of doing business. Prior to OSHA, the acceptable loss rate for Steelworkers was one man for every ten floors of construction. My guess as a new member reading these posts is that the loss of Ted was anything but acceptable AND my point to everyone here who cleans roofing systems is that there is no such thing as acceptable loss for a fall related injury or fatality for you either.

Rope Access is a relatively new form of fall protection (i.e. only recently approved under OSHA 1926.500 regs under an ANSI Z359.8 variance). Rope access is the safest and most cost effective means for pitched roof access that not only provides for the safety of the first worker up on a roof structure but also allows for complete structure access w/o having to nail in an anchor. More and More Roof Cleaning Companies are seeking out this new and unique form of training to deliver quality service others cannot and show their workers that their safety matters.
