WEEK 10March · The Toolbox Year
Harness Fit and Inspection
A harness that's worn wrong or worn out isn't fall protection. It's a costume.
Talk it through
Inspect before every use: webbing cuts, frayed stitching, bent D-rings.
Fit it snug. Leg straps tight enough to slide a flat hand under, not a fist.
Any harness that's caught a fall is done. Tag it, turn it in.

This month on the job · August

Everybody's tired and the season isn't over.

Weeks 31 through 35 are fatigue, phones at height, the kill zone below, rebar and impalement, and forklifts and telehandlers. August is a tired month with heavy machines in it.

The Monday problem

Somebody has to run the meeting.

The blank page

It's 6:55 a.m., the crew's standing there, and the foreman is improvising a safety talk off the top of his head. Again.

The eye-roll material

The free stuff online reads like an insurance company wrote it, because one did. The crew tunes out by sentence two.

The missing record

The talk happened, but nobody signed anything. When the safety audit asks for documentation, there isn't any.

The part nobody else does

The record is always on the same page as the work.

Sign-in sheet on every talk. Filled-out example behind every money form. Operator initials on every checklist. Sign-off on every lift. Run the work, pass the sheet, file it. That's the whole trick, and it's in every pack.

Who writes these

Written on the steel, not in an office.

I'm a steel erector. I stand in the meetings, I fill out the logs, I walk the machines before the key turns, and most of the paperwork sold for this trade deserves the eye-roll it gets. So I write the versions I'd actually want on my clipboard: plain talk, real hazards, real disputes, real machines, with the record built into the same page as the work. No stock photos, no corporate voice, no filler.
