renosteinke, as i just asked in another thread- what would happen then if you got hurt doing it your own way--as you said "i've seen that rule and have a problem with it" (talking about the 3' above the roof line rule). even if you did feel your way was safer. if you were working for a contractor would they be able to refuse part or all responsibilty of paying workman's comp, medical bills, etc.?? after all, you would be knowingly violating an osha rule. i'd really appreciate anyone's opinions. maybe share some previous experiences.
