Safety Ropes
LAWS OF NEW YORK, 2007
CHAPTER 433
AN ACT to amend the labor law, in relation to requiring employers to provide safety ropes and system components to firefighters.
Became a law August 1, 2007, with the approval of the Governor.
Passed by a majority vote, three-fifths being present.
I was wondering if any departments have started to comply with this. I know at my place of employment we are not currently. I personally have a rope and carbineer stored in my bunkers. When I have asked around about the topic there seems to be some confusion as what is needed.
Who will be supplying this information?
Is there an implementation date?

Do a search for chapter 0433 in the 2007.

We were just talking about this at my department the other day....VERY few departments seem to be complying....most that I've talked to are saying "it's just a recommendation, isn't it?"
