Them ( individuals whom I will never reveal there identity) re-caping everything as if I was some jury to justify all of their efforts. It's a transparent agony that hunts them. with questions of "what could they have done different". Post traumatic effects left behind from an accident. It's their body language and tone in their voice that tell the story. Sharing their nightmare and the aftermath of the particular day and particular project where a Fatal Accident occurred on their watch. It's the General Superintendent that stops at our booth at the trade shows and opens up. And is no longer just the enduser sharing their working conditions. Today I'm not the only one that highlights such a problem. And yet workers do not participate in the process for fear of being seen walking from their work site to the Safety Board in front of the office for additional information and support.īecoming a public figure in the safety guardrail industry continues to be the most rewarding aspect of my journey. There is a clear reason why posters are mandatory to be placed on conspicuous locations to list worker protection rights. Failure to heed warning signs is reason enough for the safety culture failure in many projects today. The evidence is insurmountable as fatal falls continue to be the number one leading cause for fatal accidents today. Much of the same theme continues to go unchanged today, as many still fear being blackballed for speaking up. To those how have share personal tragedy and are scarred for life for incidents that were beyond their control.įrom the beginning of my journey, it was an uphill challenge trying to convince others to fall in rank and highlight the dangers of working on the leading edge for the end-user. And all those who have shared my vision and shared their personal life experiences, despite adversity. From the people that instilled attention to detail to those that offered to teach me the tricks of the trade when they could have chosen someone else. I will for ever be grateful to an industry that has given and taught me so much. The New SAP42DF is our first temporary guardrail engineered for zero pre-embedment of any anchor. SAPS are engineered surface thread mount onto a prembed anchor and are welded internally to prevent any tampering The protruding coil rod can not and should not be modify. Others can be adjustable but to whom's standards? When a simple guardrail system arrives with a complex set of instructions it should be a BIG RED FLAG. Others may arrive with very complex set of instructions and require special tools to assemble. They lack a step or instructions such as minimal distance Some assume that you are a craftsman and there for you are an expert and will be able to figure them out. Many other systems are made of light weight materials thus making them extremely affordable but limited in capability. Such systems fail to be effective if any parts get misplace or installed improperly. Many of today's systems require assembly and are sold À la carte. Most pre-fabricated temporary guardrails are poorly engineered by someone that had a good idea and perhaps was never an end-user.
