Aw Crap!

Well, According to an article by the Vancouver Sun, I have some fresh information for you about fall protection.  I turns out that even in the age of the information super highway, companies are still piling up needless expenses on their yearly budgets. 

It turns out that Jemico Enterprises was fined a modest $40,268 for a "lack of fall protection while working on equipment." 

I know what some of you are thinking... "Idiot that's in Canadian money, not American dollars."  Well, the last time I checked the current exchange rate one American dollar did not equal $40,268 American dollars.

Nope it's much higher than that.  Which is stupid because you can outfit a guy in fall protection for about $100.  Hmm...

$100 or $40,268?  Small expense or pay out the ass?  Let's put it this way, sending your guys above six feet without fall protection is just plain dumb.  You might as well be playing "Press Your Luck" (the unpopular game show from that lovely decade known as the 80's).  So if you want the whammies to stop, click here for  some fall protection gear that will help win back thousands of dollars in OSHA fines.
