How frequent do you do "pole top rescue" and first aid.
Every other company I have been with ...... It was yearly.
I've been with all sorts as well contractors. Semi state companys, even telecoms towers . We always had to have current first aid , harness certs. And rescue. Etc.
I won't tell ya what's happening with us at the moment. I will wait and see what feed back I get from you guys. BUT I'm NOT HAPPY. :(
Around here its done once a year,both first aid and pole top rescue...........Ill continue MR.Bren.......way back when .....we all had to participate........things went well...the dummy seemed ok.........now as time went by there would be 4 to 5 guys that didnt participate.......dummy was partly cloudy......but hanging in there..........a few years after that there would be about 9 guys that didnt participate and another 3 guys that didnt want to strap their hooks on...........no...dont look around like you cant find them.........they are the guys standing farthest from the pole..........now the dummy seemed new.....this would be the 3rd dummy that Ive seen.......he looked like he didnt miss any meals.......heavy set lad.......even wore his pants way down there like the youngsters do these days.........I couldnt tell his age cause now I was standing with the other lineman........farthest away from the pole.
seen two or three methods
If I ever had to rescue another lineman ..........I believe that I would use the first method that I was taught...........after awhile they somehow get confusing.......but that first method sticks in my mind so thats why Id choose it.............the hurt guy on the pole wouldnt be concerned with the method............as long as it was done in a way that we all were taught.............luckily I havent needed to use what Ive learned............but you never know.
