I won’t go into a long rebuttal regarding our 80K homes we replaced as W-2, Workman Comp, OSHA-10 compliance, Etc. What I will tell you is that anything under 6/12 is not guidelines as a harness-in, anything above is mandatory and we have 50k photos to share with you over just the last 8 years if you need evidence as a Villager and a person who actually has to create a post.
I do understand the nature of your query as you have been bitten or a friend. Here in The Villages, all liability lands on us as we are 22 million liability just on entry to driveway…So yes, fully liable. We have been here for two decades, so feel free to contact us to discuss maybe before you point a finger on regulations (FL 2025) that we follow very closely.
Thank you neighbor.

6 guys on a roof, with no "Fall Protection". I've yet to hear a word of English being spoken, but that's only anecdotal and incidental.
How do these roofers get away with ignoring OSHA standards? 29 CFR 1926.501 mandates "fall protection" if you're on a roof, above 6' The only way to get around it, would be to have a site specific safety plan, that proves it's "safer not to provide fall protection" (a fairly difficult argument to make.
I can't believe their Worker's Comp Insurance Co. doesn't mandate proper safety protocols.
Happens to be a trigger point with me, as we're currently involved in a situation, where a worker fell from a roof. Worker's Comp has already paid out $272,000 and a 27 year old man, will never work again. Lucky for us, we had insurance, fall protection was in place and the worker was wearing a safety harness. Unlucky for him, the harness failed.
