Re: [WISPA] Wind Safety regulations for towers
We once bought out a company that came with a tower company. We closed that down within a couple of months after watching them work. 1/2 of them were crank or meth heads, the others were just nuts. None could keep a drivers license. I caught one guy hanging upside down on a cranes heavy ball 300 ft up without safety straps With OSHA on-site (but not looking thank God). Fired him over the radio. I heard he had since been injured somewhere in Florida. Like I said before, drug test your tower climbers monthly. We let another guy go after he failed a drug test. Zanax and weed. You don't need climbers that are high on anything.

[WISPA] Wind Safety regulations for towers
Anybody know of any OSHA regulations for the speed of wind and tower climbing? Is there a certain wind speed that anything beyond that point is not safe? Not allowed to climb in? Thanks, John M.
