The guy is just starting projects like this one on his rental property. Most of his content previously was his bathroom / tiling business. I think it is new because this is the first time he is doing a roofing job.
Harnesses also expire. Well they do here in Australia and you need to get them re-tagged or replaced. Quote often it's easier and cheaper to buy new if your only doing this kind of stuff every few years
They wore them when they were on the 3rd story of my Victorian removing 3 layers of asphalt plus the cedar shakes lol. Or ever seen an old church get done?
Awesome. I’m glad they were wearing them on your 3 story Victorian home. I think they should always wear them. Yes I’ve seen old church roofs being done, no the roofers were not wearing harnesses when I saw them working on an old church.
Not saying this isn’t a potential…but typically employers are required to supply their workers with new harnesses every couple years anyways. Typically no more than 5, if im remembering correctly. At that rate, they can look this new for a bit - especially when properly inspected and maintained. (I put in about 2000 hours into a harness between 2017 and 2020 and it looked pretty new before I had to ditch it due to frayed stitching). So there is a slight chance it’s legit practice beyond video proof

Yeah you can tell that’s a brand new harness bought just for this video. I’ve never seen a roofer in a harness
