Why is it that iron workers will not tie off a suitable anchor point? With the availability of rolling beam clamps and retractable lifelines, tying off have never been so easy. However, from the outside, it would appear to be a cultural issue within the IW trade that tying off is uncool.

Also, absolutely correct, the iron workers helped to develop the OSHA standards (Subpart R) that they work on. They allowed the 30 foot for connection and 15 foot for decking exemption. Every other construction worker is tying off at a 6 foot exposures, perhaps it's time for the IW to join the rest of the world and tie-off at 6 feet?
