Comtrain is so 2004. ;-) Seriously, though, I've heard nothing but bad reports since they sold. There are one or two WISPA members that provide tower and safety training services.

All equipment is inspected regularly. Competency is at a high level. Regular safety procedures, coupled with safety meeting discussions is more what I am looking to improve on. Example… All the SITE inspection checks that would need to be done before someone steps on the tower. Emergency procedures, contacts, etc. Those type of things… From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jaime Solorza Sent: Friday, January 09, 2015 8:21 PM To: Animal Farm Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Tower Safety documents / policies Proper training. Equipment must be in good conditions period. Never send a climber up by himself. Must be a competent ground crew. Recent job in Midland my son and I did is good example They only wanted me to work on project to keep costs down. I said no and they.hired us when I told them about safety and rescue issues.

Googling around… it appears like safety in relation to what an employer “should” be doing to meet OSHA and the 3 or 4 other “governing bodies of tower experts” is a bit discouraging. My objective is to have a Document Procedure for a tower climber and crew leader when they step on site, meaning a good checklist of everything required to both meet the “requirements” and everything to keep them safe. I know some companies that have a certain level of inherent risk, like a construction company, has regular safety meetings. I think that is great, but I think it needs to be comprehensive. I don’t think I am alone in my thoughts. Does anyone have any kind of materials they would be inclined to share with the group… from documents, to policies and procedures? Paul Paul McCall, Pres.
