Brother Calvin Bucon has been working with "Fire, etc. " to establish discounted prices on quality safety harnesses for Local 122 if we can come together to purchase at least 10 harnesses. Remember that a safety harness is required anytime you use a boom lift or have to leave the floor of a scissor lift. These are quality, rated, comfortable harnesses which are preferred by a number of our membership. Contact Calvin Bucon for questions.

Also, see the related OSHA articles on Fall Arrest Systems:

• Aerial Lifts
• Duty to Have Fall Protection
• Fall Protection for Lifts
• Personal Fall Arrest System
• Fall Protection

Here is a letter from Calvin on this subject:

Dear Brothers & Sisters:

I got this info on line at Petzl.com.  The in town distributor is: 

Ask for "Lety" and tell her you are with Stage Hands Local 122 (Mention your association with Calvin). We promise to purchase from her individually but as a group to make up the 10 or more to get the price break @ $225.00 + tx. each  instead of their  $250.00 price. 

You can receive your harness in 3-5 working days.  

In comparison, Versales in L.A. wants $260.00 + tx. & shpg., with delivery in 1-2 weeks

Let me know if there are any problems.  Below are the 2 models for $225.00.  Brendon and Charlie have the Navaho V2 Bod model.  The difference between the two is the V2 Bod is fire rated. 

     If your just looking for the basic fall-arrest harness & accessories and don't want to spend a lot of money, Lety can accommodate you with a U.S. manufacturer, C.M.C.

Sincerely,
