harness question.

Just shows you. I have never seen a 13ft board snap when trannied out right, must have been fekin rotten. I have seen them break plenty but only when the span was exceeded.

No, not had to rely on my harness and hopefully never will.
Back in the day we never had to wear them and never did.
I have seen a couple of lads fall however, going back over 10 years, 1 off a table top, gable end.

Nowt compared to some of the horror stories I've heard from the old boys that were working late 60's-70's. Impaled on railings and the like

Your harness is the last line of defence if you follow sg4,10 you wont need to use your harness
 
i follow jb78,33 , i guess im talkin about the old days , when scaffolders were scaffolders ,
 
my 13ft board was an old board and im pretty sure there was a tranny missing also , i was lucky to be hooked on as its not in my nature as i was in the middle of the scaffold and not even near the edge

theres plenty of pussies out there with a belt , ive met plenty with no real head for heights , and others who would be happy to use that step , and never step on a lift that had not been already handrailed , basically a lot of shitbags from the real dangers of scaffolding , guys who should decide to do something else. When im stripping a hanger underneath a helideck im not thinking about sg4 10
 
We can all bishbashbosh a job up or down but god forbid if we have an accident and were not working to the RAMS (which all state erected/dismantled following sg4,10) not a leg to stand on comes to mind
