I'm going to get blasted for this, I just know it...
Anonymous hands-up of how many of you are using harnesses in your genie or vertical 'stick' lift? Not talking boom or scissor lift. Within the 20-25 foot range.
What ARE the actual regulations on that with OSHA or ANSI? (I haven't had time today to look those up myself today but plan to later)
For what it's worth, I never have. Perhaps I'm totally wrong but my thinking has always been, "worse case scenario this thing is gonna tip over with my ass in the basket, and I might want to jump out. Or grab onto a batten or something. Why in the hell would I want to tether myself to it?!?" I could see falling off a lift if you're standing on top of or outside the basket, in which case you are a complete idiot and should have your lift privileges revoked. Also, I like to think myself less a dumbass because I ALWAYS use the outriggers as intended.
You tell me: to harness or not to harness?
be nice.
