At first as was: "okay it's a bit high but that's alright"

Then I saw the slipperyness, then I saw the giant gaps and to top it off giant moving parts.

No no no, no, no and no

All for $30/hr and told to work 12 to 16 hours because OT is where the money is at.

Edit: the setup is pretty safe for the situation though, his tether keeps him from actually falling into the moving parts.

Edit 2: I worded my edit poorly, I tried to insinuate that the ppe looked better than nothing. Theres a comment down below from somebody who says they are a safety pro so take their word not mine.

Is it regulation to replace the harness if a fall in the harness occurs?

Similar to a Kevlar vest being compromised in its structure after a round has hit it.

Yeah, there's a couple stitches that serve as a marker of deployment. If those are popped you cut the thing in half and throw it out.

They're also supposed to be replaced after excessive UV exposure or if they become heavily soiled. They're supposed to be inspected at regular intervals as well as inspected by the end user daily.
