October 14<sup>th<\/sup>, 2014, 1PM in DC, so it\u2019s Eastern Time. WOW! Requirements laid out! Requirements defined along with a public announcement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When you look at the schedule and training document you will see they require OSHA 10, PPE training, CPR\/BBP\/\/First Aid, RF Awareness, Job Site Analysis, and SOW training. They also outline basic rigging and material handling. Does it stop there? But wait, there\u2019s more! Operate hand tools, operate truck s and trailers, and introduction to structures and Appurtenances! Oh yeah, so much to learn! Let me tell you, this may not be cheap so the customer will be expected to pay more, like they would for an electrician, a mason, or any skilled labor. Maybe the executives complain as they still expect the laborer of years past that had no training but would risk their life for that $10\/hour that went out to the lowest bidder. Band together climbing companies because those days are over! The requirements are laid out for you to demand more money to hire skilled labor! These guys are entering a new era, an era where they are going to be viewed as skilled talent. Remember those guys? They are the ones that most companies let go so the carriers could build out the systems for less money! I digress, apologies, let me get back to the point!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the details they have knots listed, imagine that, the bowline and the clove hitch. They have the SOW listed so they actually want you to know and understand what you are supposed to do at that job site! Amazing insight!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Safety training is outlines, OSHA 10, Authorized climber, PPE, CPR, RF Awareness, Job Hazard Analysis, and SOW. All this required so the climber knows what is going on at the site. These are all explained in the documentation. I love it because this is something I have been saying for a while, not because I am right, because it should be expected that the guys out there should be prepared for anything that could happen. Training and practice will make them the best they can be. Don\u2019t think that you can take the training once and that\u2019s all. You need to make sure your people are trained early, trained often, and trained well! Practice makes the training sink in and if an emergency comes up there is no guess-work, just quick and thoughtful planning to save lives! Practice makes the safety training a habit. We all want good habits, not laziness. We all deserve to have the chance to save our workmates, our partners, our friends, our work family!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Technical training outlines the SOW, basic rigging, material handling opes\/knots, antenna\/line installation, lightning system installation and maintenance, tower structural installation and maintenance, and applicable standard awareness.<\/span> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">They don&#8217;t stop there, they add test equipment, exothermic welds, basic understanding of regulatory issues, and operate trucks, trailers, and equipment. Bu hold on, there&#8217;s more! Operate hand and power tools like the normal power tools like drills and saws but also torches, connector tools, and tools applicable to the SOW. So much to learn. So many climbers already know this but don&#8217;t get the credit they deserve for such knowledge. Skilled labor, professionals are in this industry and now they will be recognized for it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Let me tell you, this is a wonderful thing to be done by the FCC and the DoL. They are changing the landscape of this industry in the USA. We need the help. If you wonder why, then you live under a rock! This move is because so many out there have been falling, so many have been hurt, so many have been careless, and mainly because the industry let it happen! When I say the industry I lay the blame all around. Do you really think that $10 to $15 an hour is a fair wage for someone to make the schedule so someone&#8217;s smart phone will be able to download \u201cAngry Birds\u201d and get Facebook updates? Apparently it was the case. It\u2019s the one thing that someone pushing a deployment could control, or so they thought. Then by simply saying, \u201cI told them to be safe and use safety gear\u201d they could wash their hands of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How will this affect you, it depends who you are. The climber stands to get more training and eventually get paid more. The tower crew companies stand to bid higher, make more money, but pay for more training and pay to maintain the training. If you are the end customer like a carrier, your prices will go up. That means that you will pay more for the climbers. I know you will complain, but let me ask you, what is a young person\u2019s life worth anyway?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How will it affect the industry? Well, deployments may be delayed, but will they be delayed any longer than the auctions were delayed? Will the installation take longer than site acquisition? Will the installation take longer than the OEM takes trying to work out the bugs? You know, it goes back to what I said, everyone thinks that the climbing crew is the one thing that they can push and push. Well, now they will be pushing back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I get a little fired up about this, but I have been on both sides. I know what it\u2019s like to push and be pushed. If you push, take time to listen. When you listen you realize that there is a good reason that the crew can\u2019t do the installation. When you listen you solve problems. It\u2019s really a great thing. Schedule can be a bitch, but losing a life is something that people don\u2019t forget. Schedules are something that\u2019s forgotten in the end as long as the company doesn\u2019t go under. Then they blame the costs and schedules. But when someone dies, all that fails to matter, at least to the family of the lost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So I think this is a great thing and I am hoping the industry changes for the better. Remember that it takes talent and brains to do this job. Just because climbers get high for a living doesn\u2019t mean that they lose sight of what\u2019s important.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Tell me what you think about TIRAP! How is it going to impact the industry? Who do you think it will hit the hardest?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<div data-test='contact-form'\n\t\t\tid='contact-form-963'\n\t\t\tclass='jetpack-contact-form-container
