The manuals and older videos talk about having a carrying height of 12" for rolls. We were using this format but we are now teaching 4" to 6" height carrying heights. With rolls we travel in reverse to prevent running into objects so we are wondering what others teach in their classes and why, if they do use the 12" height, do they use that height. Also we have tried to locate newer roll grab safety training videos but have not been able to locate one. The one we currently use is from 1985, can anyone help in this area. Thanks for all your responses in the past.
