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: 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.
Construction safety, fall protection: Worker has contorted himself around top of ladder, without using his fall protection and is now descending ladder. Ladder is itself a hazard, because it is supported at top by a rung (on which he is placing his bottom foot) against the vertical edge of the gang form. Practice and OSHA law require its top to be supported equally by its two side rails. He has walked 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. 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. He has duct tape around bottom of his pants so pants do not catch and trip himl. Michigan 2006.
Construction safety: Fall Hazard: Two workers at 20+ foot height and wearing body harnesses and lanyards work without tying off to safety line. Unsafe and against the law. Ann Arbor, 2004.
Construction safety: Stepladder is misused as straight ladder. Stepladder feet sit on roof that slopes away, without proper footing or cleating, and it can easily slip down roof when used, as here. Ladder to be mounted and dismounted from top, as shown here, should be tied off at top and extend at least 3 ft above dismount point. Massachusetts 2004.
Steel construction safety.  Structural steel ironworkers ride the erection crane headache ball up to position on the steel. Workers have no protection against falls to ground or impact with already erected structural steel.  Ann Arbor, 2004
