How not to get snow off your roof
First posted earlier Thursday on /r/montreal, TVA now has the story of the guy clearing snow near the edge of a high rooftop with no safety gear whatsoever. TVA didn’t verify his identity nor find out what kind of employer gets a man to do that.

It looks like a comment about male machismo.

The question is why? It’s not like snow load is going to be a thing on that building.

This is not unheard of. Here’s a photo I took in 2007. It’s taken through the window of the office where I was working, and what you see is the REFLECTION in the windows of the building across the street. You see two guys who are right over my head (I was on the top floor) shovelling snow off the roof.

walkerp, it’s not good practice if a building management company makes someone work on a high rooftop with no protection to clear snow. There are legal limits to the risk an employer can require a person to take.
