I know that IT guys complain when they need to spend a hundred dollars on a program after they bought a laptop for $1,000, but the tower tech probably has a laptop as well. One that will need to be used at a tower site, on the seat of a truck, or on top of a transmitter in an outdoor cabinet. No matter what you do it takes money to run a business, we all know this. But when safety is involved, it takes money. Training, insurance, legalities, policies, enforcement, and gear all cost money. It ain&#8217;t cheap!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The price of safety is not only the classes you need to take, the OSHA classes, the CPR classes, the first aid classes, the climbing certification, and the hours that the tower crew owner has to pay the technicians to attend these classes. Many times the climber will need to travel and the training is only good for the company that you work for at that time. Remember that an employer is normally paying for all of this. If you are a contractor doing it on your own, then you know that you are spending your money. It is a tax write off. However, it is still money out-of-pocket. All this and remember that your certifications may not follow you, each company should certify you, <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"http:\/\/wade4wireless.com\/2014\/02\/19\/training-certifications-may-or-may-not-follow-you\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">I wrote about it here<\/span><\/strong>.<\/a> If you want to price out training, go ahead and research it at<\/span> <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/safetyoneinc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/safetyoneinc.com\/<\/a><\/span><\/strong> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">or <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/redirect?url=www%2Elbauniversity%2Eorg&amp;urlhash=xSaq&amp;_t=mbox_grop\" target=\"_blank\">www.lbauniversity.org<\/a><\/span><\/strong> or<\/span> <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rfcomply.com\/pc\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.rfcomply.com\/pc\/index.php<\/a><\/strong><\/span> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">or<\/span> <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.comtrainusa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.comtrainusa.com\/<\/a><\/span><\/strong> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">for more information. There are plenty of safety programs out there. Maybe go to Wireless Estimator and see who they recommend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I won&#8217;t get into insurance in this post, but maybe in the future. Insurance can make or break your business, and then if something happens, they may or may not cover you. Insurance companies often look for an out unless you have the right policy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Governments spend money on safety as well! Safety is being addressed and the government is investing more in tower climber safety. If you are in the tower industry then you should be aware of TIRAP,<\/span> <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tirap.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.tirap.org\/<\/a><\/span> <\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">the organization formed to set standards for the climbing tech.<\/span><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong> <a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.doleta.gov\/oa\/pdf\/TIRAP.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">The fact sheet is found here.<\/a> <\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The one thing I am not very clear on is whether they will have a database showing participating companies, but that is another blog post.

I have blogs on the conference<\/span><strong> <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/wadesarver.com\/Podcast\/my-notes-on-the-workshop-on-tower-climber-safety-and-injury-protection\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><\/span> <\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">and<\/span> <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/wadesarver.com\/Podcast\/part-2-on-the-workshop-on-tower-climber-safety-and-injury-protection\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><\/span> <\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">and<\/span> <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/wadesarver.com\/Podcast\/fcc-and-dol-unite-for-tower-climber-safety\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Today I want to talk about gear, your safety gear and what is cost to be properly equipped. My good friend Daniel at GME Supply were nice enough to take the time to run several quotes for me. No, I did not pay them and they are not paying me for this advertising. Here is what I did, I sent them an email asking them to quote out safety gear for this post, and they did. Full disclosure. I don&#8217;t know if you would pay this price or get a discount, but I wanted to show everyone the price of the gear. I won&#8217;t have all of it, but you get the idea. If anything, this is on the low-end of the spectrum. Remember that each person on the crew needs to have gear, as well as be trained and insured.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Oh, to be clear, the employer must pay for the safety gear. There is a company in California that will deduct money from employees paychecks just so the employees can have safety gear. When do they tell the employees? Right after they are hired. They ask that they sign a form stating that they must have deductions taken from their paychecks to pay for their safety gear. Can you imagine around $70 per paycheck so you can climb safely for a company? Maybe up to 4 or more paychecks, that ain\u2019t right! I would like to say now that is wrong<\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/dte\/outreach\/intro_osha\/7_employee_ppe.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">.

I used to post this at the bottom of my blog posts. Well here you go, all the information you need to make a difference! They do separate out some items, like non-specialty steel toes, everyday clothing, ordinary clothing or creams, ordinary sunglasses, winter coats, normal rain gear, normal hats, parka, lifting belts if not required. If you own the company of tower crews, why would you make them chip in to be safe? Let me know! I bet most of you will bring up all the times you have had employees steal from you, and that sucks. I get it, they took your tools, gear, whatever. However, it is up to you to make sure you do inventory and that the employee understands that they are responsible for anything lost or intentionally damaged or stolen. Do your due diligence.<\/span><\/p>\n<div data-test='contact-form'\n\t\t\tid='contact-form-5105'\n\t\t\tclass='jetpack-contact-form-container '\n\t\t\tdata-wp-interactive='jetpack\/form'

will cost, then think of what will happen if you don&#8217;t follow the process, if you don&#8217;t pay for the necessities of the climber. Let me ask you, what is the cost of one life? Why don&#8217;t you ask the families of the fallen while you go back and challenge the fines that were handed to the companies. Ask the friends of the climbers and ask fellow climbers what they think when another climber falls. They support each other and they try to understand what happens, how it happened, and why it happened. I found out that you may have someone looking out for you but most times you need to look out for yourself!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So the quotes didn&#8217;t come out very well in the post, so you can download them;<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/wadesarver.com\/Podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Capstan-and-accessories-quote.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/wadesarver.com\/Podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Capstan-and-accessories-quote.pdf<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/wadesarver.com\/Podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Harness-and-equipment.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/wadesarver.com\/Podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Harness-and-equipment.pdf<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/wadesarver.com\/Podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Delux-Tower-Climbers-Kit.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/wadesarver.com\/Podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Delux-Tower-Climbers-Kit.pdf<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/wadesarver.com\/Podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/WestFall-Pro-Climbing-kit.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/wadesarver.com\/Podcast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/WestFall-Pro-Climbing-kit.pdf<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So for $679.99 you can have the deluxe climbers kit, GM-90002 which will include EAGLE TOWER LE HARNESS, 1&#8243; X 6&#8242; CENTURION ADJUSTABLE, 1-1\/2&#8243; X 6&#8242; FLEX-NOPAC LANYARD, West Fall Pro 4-7\/8&#8243; x 3&#8243; Steel Carabiner (2 each), West Fall 7&#8243; x 3-3\/4&#8243; Steel Carabiner (2 each), 3\/8&#8243; WIRE ROPE GRAB FOR FALL, RED LARGE GME GEARBAG, EXTRA TALL TOP CLOSING CANVAS BOLT Bag, COMFORT PLUS 5151 HARD HAT.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">That was one option, another is the Westfall Ascend Climbing kit, for $1,139.99 and you get MED WESTFALL PRO ASCEND TOWER Harness, White Petzl Vent Helmet, Grillon Adjustable Lanyard with handle, West Fall 4-1\/2&#8243; x 2-3\/4&#8243; Steel Ca (2 each), West Fall Pro 4-7\/8&#8243; x 3&#8243; Steel Ca (2 each), EXTRA TALL TOP CLOSING CANVAS BOLT BAG,, DBI LAD-SAF 3\/8&#8243; Wire Rope Grab w\/attach, and 1-1\/2&#8243; X 6&#8242; FLEX-NOPAC LANYARD.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What if we break it out and buy it separately, well, maybe that is how you want to do it.
