Ok all,

II was under the impression that ISO 18000 was based off of the 9000 and 14000 standards. Is it really based off of Z-10? Any help in defining this would be appreciated

The minimum fall distance for an average sized man with a 6 foot shock absorbing lanyard is 18 feet. If the worker is less than that in working height, they should wear a retractable.
Mark Brouwers Comment by Mark Brouwers on August 25, 2009 at 7:51pm
We use them for both fall protection and ladders. Sometimes a retractable is a better choice for fall protection for the simple fact the person falling cannot fall more that a foot. When a lanyard deploys your going to gain up to thirty six inches, along with the six foot lanyard.

I have never heard of this either. We use them, attached to an approved anchor point above the worker, as fall protection.

nope
ST Comment by ST on July 10, 2009 at 8:37am
I have not heard that one, in fact, I had Miller Fall Protection come out to one of my sites; and the "expert" said that the use of a retractable instead of a shock absorbing lanyard allows ("according to OSHA") a less than 5,000 pound anchor, as it limits the fall so significantly that there is less force needing to be withstood.

I read a post today concerning self retracting lanyards as fall protection. The person that made the post said "be aware retractables are not for fall protection they are intended only for access and egress on ladders". If anyone knows anything about this statement or has any information on the specific standard, I would be very interested in the source of this statement. We utilize retractables as fall protection quite frequently ... Please HELP ... never heard this before.

Can anyone share some forms with me for evaluation? I am looking for a budget form for safety projects and an accident investigation form?
Brian Comment by Brian on March 19, 2009 at 11:38am
This is a great discussion and one that really interests me. For many years I have put various EHS systems in-place and at this point I have settled on this strategy; I use the structure that VPP provides, however not actually signing on with OSHA. Setting standards and auditing against those standards within a context "modeled" after VPP works for me. Brian

red exit lights vs green exit lights

I am wanting to know  if I should I buy red exit signs or green exit signs? Does OSHA care? Is there one that is more accepted in the mechanic industry? Thanks Mary
