OSHA Residential Construction Fall Protection

Just a reminder that the three month phase in period for the OSHA residential construction fall protection is over.  It is know required and non compliance can mean large fines.  A simple solution is the use of a roofers bucket safety kit that complies with the OSHA requirements.  Another solution would be guard rail roof brackets that are installed at the roof edge to eliminate a fall.  For larger jobs system guardrail packages are available from Bluewater Manufacturing.  Avoid fines that could be crippling to you business.

Werner Aluminum Planks

It was brought to my attention that customers think that Werner is making their aluminum planks in Mexico.  The truth is they are made in Louisville, KY.  made in the USA.  It is a fact that Titan Planks are made in China.  Werner is a company trying its best to keep as much production that is feasible in the USA.  Lets try and support manufactures that are making product here in the USA.  When you think about buying a foreign made product ask your distributor about product liability on the product in writing.  Werner has it and will give you a printed copy.  There is a cost for insurance which is reflected in the price.  If something happens to you on an imported plank who will protect you, China, your distributor?
