Now if you work smart, someone gets his panties in a wad. Dumasses took over the industry. I am happy where I am at. But I know as soon as work on a road I have to put all that dumbs **** on. And the piece of paper called a tailboard, some legalese BS. If someone has to tell you every hazard and every step, you need to go home and doing something else. If you don't know what to do, how to do it, then go home. That's it.
if I cut out, I cut in. That's life.
great majority of the guys in the industry seem to think if you look at things long enough the wire will transfer itself.
and if we complied with everything we are suppose to do. You wouldn't get out of the yards by 10 am. You wouldn't turn any nuts in the air by 2 pm. When I took my pre trip inspection for my CDL it took me an hour and half. Then add on the OSHA mandated full check on you aerial lifts. Then your tool check. And the glove and sleeve inspection. And the more inspections and complicity for everyone. Gathering your material, grabbing poles, transportation to your job. Now if you didn't fill one check and something happens, you are liable. Because you probably filled out a piece of paper that you would do everything the government, the utility , and your management to comply. Because during in processing for work, they are going to pull out a sheet out of that three inch stack that you are get on your back and measure slack adjusters everyday.
everybody wants more. They want more production. More safety. More . . . Without liability or any cost. And that makes no sense, period.
DANM Bobbo....Nice post man.
No man...We just Can't "get siht done" anymore. It has to be politically, environmentally, and socially correct.
And...BTW...don't you DARE trim those trees in the back yard of the a$$hole you were called out on that trouble call to replace the service wire...that that TREE limb brought down.....
