Re: [WISPA] Tower Climber Salary (insurance, etc.)
If I could split off this topic to something very related. What insurance/workers comp are being held to legally employ climbers? I'm assuming two climbers minimum are on staff? We are getting to the point where it would benefit us to have our own climbers but the decision makers are intimidated by the logistics of keeping such a high risk position on payroll. Suggestions?

Keep them classified as general install technicians that spend less than 10% of their time on a tower (which is true for most WISPs) To have true workman's comp / insurance for full-time tower crews -- you're insurance bills will jump to the tens of thousands of -Charles --- WiNOG Wireless Roadshows Coming to a City Near You http://www.winog.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dylan Bouterse Sent: Monday, July 21, 2008 7:25 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Tower Climber Salary (insurance, etc.) If I could split off this topic to something very related.

And DON'T have documentation where you show them as tower climbers. \ Don't take your organs to heaven, heaven knows we need them down here!

Re: [WISPA] Tower Climber Salary (insurance, etc.)
As with everything insurance related, make sure they know about everything it is that they do, but do your best to minimize exposure to the high cost policies. You wouldn't want to leave out the fact that they climb towers twice a month and then have a tower related claim, which gets denied. -- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com - Original Message - From: Charles Wu [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Monday, July 21, 2008 8:57 AM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Tower Climber Salary (insurance, etc.) Keep them classified as general install technicians that spend less than 10% of their time on a tower (which is true for most WISPs) To have true workman's comp / insurance for full-time tower crews -- you're insurance bills will jump to the tens of thousands of -Charles --- WiNOG Wireless Roadshows Coming to a City Near You http://www.winog.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dylan Bouterse Sent: Monday, July 21, 2008 7:25 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Tower Climber Salary (insurance, etc.) If I could split off this topic to something very related.
