We recently had to undergo fall arrest training in order to be allowed to work at heights higher than 10 feet for a Xmas decorating contract. It appears that a new law (in Ontario) was passed last year (news to me!) requiring this. Things like proper use of ladders, safety harnesses and safe anchoring systems (to tie on your harness) have opened a whole new can of worms for interiorscapers! Is there anything like this in the U.S.?

Just curious,

No, but if (bite your tongue) Hilary Clinton should ever find her way back to the White House, count on it happening here.

It is not really a new rule in Ontario but with the hiring of 500 new safety inspectors, the Province is really clamping down on work place safety. You had better study up on The Occupational Health and Safety rules because if you get caught breaking them the employee gets fined, the employer gets fined and the client gets fined. These fines are very steep.
