| .. hold all calls, I am working on a small helium parasail powered by electric motor powered props conveying a small digital camera with built in measuring capabilities. It also is able to discern between a scuff mark and a hail impact. For the low price of $68,000.00 when purchased in quantity you can avoid traversing a roof completely. Alternative methods however archaic include a used cherry picker, ladder and harness, and cougar paws used in conjuntion with two harvey wallbangers. |

I have recently updated our ladder safety guidelines. They include the recommendation that double pulls be done utilizing two people. As usual it is available for anyone that wants it.

This month's issue of "Building Products" had a news release for a ladder stabilizer. I already feel like I'm taking my whole truck up on the roof with me now to do an inspection, but this looks simple enough to attach to the ladder. Check it out at http://www.buyladder-max.com/index.htm

Uhhhh, yeah...and, since this roof design is typical of those from the past 20 years or so, will the vendors now be providing the OSHA compliant saftey toeboards, safety restraining rails, safety harnesses, approved scaffolding, etc., to allow us to safely make our inspections and investigations on EACH & EVERY roof we must ascend to perform our job description?
Ya know, the OSHA 29CFR manuals sure make interesting reading and when the insurance property claims business and their vendors become a target industry for a nationwide OSHA investigation into lack of safety in the workplace compliance due to the next one of you falling off a roof like the one shown above from lack of employer mandated safety devices, don't say your ol' pal here in the Ministry of Propaganda didn't warn ya. |

| It comes down to if you don't or can't get on the roof, your going to loose the business. Doesn't make it right, but there is always some idiot out there who can climb these things like monkeys. I have seen with my company, that older adjusters or heavier adjusters get assigned interior water/ pipe burst claims not involving the roof, and the roof/wind/hail claims are saved for the younger or capable climbers. I am not saying that older adjusters can do the job, but you get my point. |

I am not insinuating anything about age and the job, as I myself am probably to big for the recommended safety specs for most ladders I use. I just see it happen with the age thing. However, we sometimes use a CAT guy out of Fla. who is 74 years old and climbs like he's 21. |
