[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3069906, member: 5412"] Sadly, I had the same issue. Had to wear a harness with a lanyard attached to a safety rail over the scaffold that was 8' off the grating. I marched the "safety expert" to the site as well as my supervisor and asked WTF was the difference of the scaffold railing and the railing over the grating with the floor below it over 100', both over 36" with toe boards, etc. I got the "potential" of an accident for an answer and a promise to write me up if I didn't follow instructions for the scaffolding. My compromise "potential" argument of 1100 degree steam at over 3000 psi, on the other side of that wall coming out at me through a void in the steel, was met with a blank face, or the "potential" of the whole damned unit coming down on top of us. Where in the hell does "potential" stop? [/QUOTE]
