Structural steel ironworker arc welds corrugated steel deck to beams at periphery of floor opening. Standing ironworker is holding a steel angle iron to be welded in corner to provide support for perimeter cable fall protection (see the other two corners). Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. January, 2007.
Steel erection fall protection: Structural steel ironworker on left has fall protection from full body harness attached to safety lanyard attached to steel cable loop/sling around girder as he moves from left to right along wide flange structural steel girderl Here, he liftis cable loop/sling past steel plate attachment that will support far end of a steel floor beam/joist. Ironworker on right his apparently without fall protection, with one safety lanyard attached from cable loop/sling that hangs loose and other end attached to lower ring on his body harness. However, his second lanyard could be attached to a sliding beam flange anchor attached to top flange of girder. Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. January, 2007.
Steel erection fall protection: Structural steel ironworker straddles wide flange structural steel beam. Fall protection provided by full body harness attached to safety lanyard attached to steel cable loop/sling around beam. Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. January, 2007.
Worker on forms at left is knocking form bolts loose to separate gang forms from concrete basement wall they cast. A worker walks along top of concrete basement wall more than 20 feet above the ground, among reinforcing bar tripping hazards, without all protection. He carries two safety lanyards and hooks, attached to full body harness and hooked temporarily at his right chest. Right foreground is Grove telescoping boom hydraulic crane. Michigan 2006.
Construction safety, fall protection: Worker walks along top of concrete basement wall more than 20 feet above the ground, among reinforcing bar tripping hazards, without any fall protection. He carries two safety lanyards and hooks, attached to full body harness and hooked temporarily at his right chest. Instead of protecting him, he repeatedly has them loop over extended rebars, which adds to the hazard. Michigan 2006.
Construction safety, fall protection: Photo panels right to left show worker maintaining fall protection using two lanyard/hook sets attached to his full-body harness. He climbs up to top, with one hook on the tie-off rung between his hands and the other attached near waist level. He then moves the second to alongside the first, then one to lead position, then the other to hook to ring near foot level. The catwalk section in two left panels affords some protection, but its open ends create hazard, alleviated by use of hooks/lanyards. Michigan 2006
Construction safety, fall protection: Worker supported by pipe on rear of gang form moves from one bay to the bay on its right, maintaining his fall protection by moving his two safety lanyard-hooks one at a time from his left side to his right. (He has moved from left of the blue-circled point to right of it.) Photo provides close-up view of galvanized steel (gray) turnbuckle columns that slope down from left to right, that can be rotated to push/pull form face against/away from the concrete. Michigan 2006
Construction safety, fall protection: Worker is holding on with one hand, leaning back to get his body around catwalk support at top of form, about 20 feet above ground, without using his fall protection. Worker carries two safety lanyards and hooks, attached to full body harness and hooked temporarily at his right chest. Michigan 2006.
Construction safety, fall protection: Worker is contorting himself reaching with his arm and foot around side of ladder, without using his fall protection. Ladder is itself a hazard, because it is supported at top by a rung against the vertical edge of the gang form. It has a loose wire tied around it and concrete bulkhead at top that provides no useful safety. Practice and OSHA law require top of the ladder to be supported equally by its two side rails. Worker carries two safety lanyards and hooks, attached to full body harness and hooked temporarily at his right chest. Michigan 2006.
