    Dramatic Rescue Saves SF Window Washers - News Story - KTVU San Francisco

    Posted by facadeaccess on Aug 9, 2011 4:06:10 PM

    In this incident it appears the steel davit base or its permanent to the building structural system (steel or concrete) failed. This being a four wire platform (2 wire ropes on each side) allows for the workers to tie off to the "dog-line" on the suspended platform itself. The redundancy and safety factor built into the remaining davit support saved their lives.
