I figure, as long as no one calls OSHA, I'm cool.

 

Am I wrong on this?

 

Just wonderin'

I was just talking to my bucket truck inspector this weekend.  He also does
cranes etc.

 

The question came up about the fork lift baskets.  As long as they have
rails that are at least 32" high, a chain to tie off to the fork lift and
tie off rings for the harnesses it's OK to use them.  They are OSHA
compliant according to him.

Oh it's a forklift, that's why.  Seems obvious to not use that, but when you
need to put food on the table...

Absolutely terrible the son and daughter not only have to go through this,
but live the rest of their lives without their father.  It's tough to even
think about it.

That's horrible.  I just sold them a bunch of Trango gear.  While I am in no
way making an attempt to be negative about this tragedy, why are they using
a non-man rated piece of equipment with a "makeshift" man basket roped to
the forklift? (seen here: www.moraminn.com/detail/61845.html)  What's even
worse, is that they were repairing someone else's tower that fell after
having a tree fall on one of the guys...not even their own. 

 

According to another WISP they did a "test run" and everything appeared ok.
My guess is that the test run was without the man on the lift.  These things
are not made to go left or right, and are not made to handle a side load.
Unfortunately, we all get to learn a lesson from this on what not to do.
Thoughts and prayers to the family and the WISP involved.
