Reply to comment by djohnny_mclandola in Bridge Painter dies after Semi- crashes into the bucket lift by [deleted]

Worked on safety training on this subject. Way too many workers don't use or don't properly use their fall protection. Too many people feel like the don't need it. Too much of a hassle. Slows them down.

You never need it until you do. Falls are the main way construction workers die these days.

The guys who work in bucket trucks don’t like to follow basic safety even though they are sitting in something that’s essentially a catapult. I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often.
