Like so many other precarious situations on a tower, a small rail around the mast to stand on and one around the beacon to hook off on is easily designed and manufactured&#8212;-unless it is required to support a 5,000# load as OSHA requires.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> On the drug issue, there are a very high percentage of tower hands that use drugs. There is an even higher percentage that drink excessively, but not on the job. If accurate statistics existed, which they don&#8217;t, they would reveal that there are very few fatalities caused by someone being high or drunk. There are more accidents attributed to stupid than intoxicants, and there are a lot of hands that are stupid even when they are sober.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> I watched the video of you with Kelly Hill and I totally disagree with you on the use of capstans on a tower job. To begin with, you have to use a fiber rope with a capstan, not a wire rope. The statistics will show that there are numerous fatalities caused by ropes breaking, but not wire ropes. Fiber ropes are good for a tag-line or a trolley, but certainly not for hoisting loads up and down a tower. I can cite four accidents where ropes broke that caused the death of twelve people.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> The accident you referred to where the five men were killed was the 2,000&#8242; Senior Road project in Houston. The men were riding the top half of the FM mast dressed out with the panel FM antenna. I think the load got too close to the tower and hung up which caused the picking channel across the face to fail. The load fell and hit the guy wire causing the whole tower to come down. I was hired as an expert witness by the firm representing Harris is why I am so familiar with this accident.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Riding the winch line is safe!!! Much safer than free climbing and every job that requires the hoisting and lowering of antennas and\/or mounts should be rigged with a wire rope.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Response<\/strong>: I called this guy and he is amazing. He is a big fan of winches, but only if you use cable versus rope. That is where I got the idea for the blog<\/span> \u201c<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/wadesarver.com\/Podcast\/rope-versus-steel-cable-for-hoists\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rope Versus Steel Cable for Hoists<\/a><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201d.

I made it clear that only a larger hoist should be used for man loads and he agreed. Now, as far as the accidents go, he knew so much about many of them. I plan to talk to him more in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is feedback from \u201c<\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/wade4wireless.com\/2014\/11\/18\/are-work-schedules-killing-the-wireless-field-worker-yes\/\" target=\"_blank\">Are work schedules Killing the Wireless Field Worker? Yes!\u201d<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Comment<\/strong>: Wade;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Scheduling is most definitely a problem, and a serious one. Unless you have been there and suffered in extreme conditions, you cannot fully comprehend the difficulty in working in subfreezing temperatures in a 15 or so mph wind. When you are in the midst of work on one of these days, you cannot help but wonder why this job wasn&#8217;t scheduled two months earlier or two months later. And you are not receiving any additional compensation for your suffering, and if you so chose, you could be at home in a warm house with your family&#8212;-maybe sort of like the bodily orifice that scheduled this project.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> When that anger starts building up inside, it doesn&#8217;t take much of a reason for a man to suggest to his boss to &#8220;just take this job and shove it.&#8221;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> If you don&#8217;t have a foreman with great leadership skills to keep this project under control, which means leading, not pushing, this job is going to go bad real quick. And when it stalls, nobody ever thinks of blaming the scheduler, they always blame the contractor and the crew.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> I learned early in my career the difficulty of working in extreme conditions and I have always made every effort to<\/span> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">avoid putting a crew up north in the winter. I have a famous quote that I use when scheduling jobs, it&#8217;s &#8220;If you\u2019re gonna be stupid, you gotta be tough.&#8221;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> I could write for hours telling stories about winter in the north without informing anyone of anything that they didn&#8217;t already know. I don&#8217;t really think the professional people who organize and schedule the jobs even care.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Response<\/strong>: Been there and done that, it is a tough job!

It is still voluntary but it\u2019s a start. This is a chance for the government to recognize the seriousness of the climbing industry hazards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Comment<\/strong>: I have been in the industry for 12 years, each year it get worse for tower hands&#8230; this industry makes more money than it knows what to do with and what they need to realize is this technology isn&#8217;t going to put itself up on any tower, water tank, or roof top without the tower hands that do it&#8230; appreciate your employees and treat them better&#8230; give better pay, appropriate per diem, and most of all better hours&#8230;\u00a0 the majority of tower workers have families, think about that when you go home to yours everyday and you have several crews that only see theirs 8 weeks out the year&#8230;&#8230;\u00a0 if that&#8230;&#8230;.. so when you get on your cell phone to make your next call think about the guys that sacrifice so much for you to be able to enjoy that luxury and think about what they endure to provide you that luxury<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Response<\/strong>: Like I said before, so many companies think that to raise margin they need to cut per diem and employee salaries. It is common. I guess the CFO that is sitting in his office that gets to work from 9 to 5 and go home every night to his family makes the decision that the tower crew who leaves Monday and won\u2019t get home Friday night should skip meals. I guess they forget that physical work as well as engineering might burn a few calories each day. I guess they determined that they can always find more grunts. Good luck with that strategy. I have learned that it pays to take care of your employees, but there are so many people who just stay at a company because it\u2019s a job and they don\u2019t want to leave, no matter how bad the company treats them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Comment<\/strong>: We have been blessed to be able to work with customers and vendors that have created a loyalty around what we do. We for the first time have really felt the issues of low bidder and the companies that go out of business one day and start again tomorrow.\u00a0 We hope that our customers will determine that it is not a low bid industry and will continue to give us a chance to do work and be profitable. The 3rd party companies and now the equipment providers have created hard times for the small company trying to keep up with increased pricing pressure and hard to find quality staff.\u00a0 They know they can stop us from taking work by buying a competitor and lowering their prices to push us out.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Small business can only grow with the help of our customers.\u00a0 We need them to demand companies to have experienced employees and not just how many crews you can come up with.\u00a0 We have to stop the companies and owners which have failed multiple times but keep doing work. We know these are the companies that have made the industry unsafe and less profitable for the hard-working small businesses.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Have a safe Thanksgiving.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Response<\/strong>: Thank you and I hope you had a great Thanksgiving as well.
