Mike, wasn't it you who took a video and posted of your helper sliding down a ladder with his feet on the rails? You thought that was funny and boasted about how he could do that. Now that you found another certificate will everyone ascend and descend the ladders holding the side rails and not the rungs? One step at a time?

 So, this is what you learned in getting your ladder safety cert?

that looks fun

Mike aka Dawg,,
I think what Brett is trying to say your competitor will use that against you..... the video and then the certifications.

In regards to certs, I think for commercial work it would be a benefit, but HO's not really, unless they had a exceptional property/ so to have them just in case , hell why not, use it or not it can be a back up if you need get the opportunity to pull out an arsenal to land some serious coin.

Mike, if you see things like this and would hereafter hesitate to post it, send it to yours truly by PM or by email.  I'd appreciate it.  I'll do the same.

I'm thinking you're walking the edges more than most of us with a lot of the gutter work, so I'm paying attention.

Admittedly slow on the uptake here, I was lost on why a safety review had little appeal.

There is much to learn at the CAT adjuster's link I provided in return.  It's just the ticket for being safe and comfortable on some of the steep pitches we occasionally find ourselves dealing with, regardless of rarely doing so.

The course is in TX.  I'll be attending in the spring.  If anyone else is interested, please let me know: http://www.catastrophecareerspecialties.com/ .

 

 

I think I know all the cheats to gutter cleaning and ladder safety, even a way to cheat the steeps roofs, beat the competition and still get a bottom line.

Ladder slides, well showed Jeff the vid of a guy doin the 40, he had to do it too!! then Nick!! lol!!! Well I took pride in that. Gutterdogs is the best!

This is a cool job to have, many helpers have brought their Girlfriend to come watch.

I have done things with ladders, taught by a cool dude from Waynesboro, over 30 yrs, gutters siding, Yall wouldnt believe. And Improved it.

Well thats just a 1 truck company, I supervised everything.... Got this second truck now, I'm not going to be on every job anymore next year. Next year we blow up! Way more increased chance of someone getting hurt, Then I'm out of an employee for a period of time. I got to get back on service truck, train a brand new guy.

I'm just a 1 truck company, like most. Wanna, need to be bigger. Had alot of fun with ladders. Been Lucky too.

This company is going to make many baby steps next year. Ladder safety too.

Thanks for the support.

I DONT see how the ladder slide vids can hurt us? They were done after the work was done. If someone wanted to use them against me I dont see how??? lol! Chit they prob call us for a price! lol!

All that aside, the 30 years experince with ladders and my 7, aint chit. That piece of paper was pretty cool and Glad I Found Something To Share This Cool! (Havent been on much or anything)

Did I mention it was Free! Us roof cleaners here up north like free this time of year!

Guys that have posted on this thread, lets all look for whats free this winter!

All I did was search ladder safety!

Lets get all free certs we can get this winter! lol, but serious!

If I can get some competition that be fun!

Some gotta be good ones?

I will be giving a Webinar next week on "How to properly tie down a ladder to your truck." A Ladder Strapping Safety Certificate will be given after successful completion.  Regular price for this much sought after course is $175. If you act now and sign up for the upcoming Webinar it is only $87. That's right! More than half off! The first 2  that sign up will also get a set of Ginzu knives!

I'm sure you have done acid. Just flash back to the 70's.
