New OSHA roof regulations

[rkenney]

Wonder when these regulations will catch up to anybody on a roof?

Drove by three roofing jobs today, as expected not a single person tied off.

Performed a pre-drywall inspection a week or two back. The builder attended. I opened a window and walked out on the porch roof. Strolled around looking at a number of things and came back in. The builder asked me what OSHA would say about me being on the roof.

I explained tjat OSHA only applies to businesses of 3 or more employees and since I am a 1 man business, they would not say anything. I then explained that I have a class 3 harness and am quite familiar with working from heights. He thanked me and we moved on.
