TS12 jumped off a bridge which is a rather unsafe act but is probably more NHTSA, DOT, or whoever regulates bridges.

The CEO of one of the 4 crane operator certification companies (I will neither confirm nor deny if I am employed by this one) did an article on the slow progression of federal certification for crane operators. There's some good information on the situation when it comes to operators actually getting certified, and the background politicking affecting it.quote:Around the mid-80s, the talk of operator certification began to increase when the Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association began to explore development of an accredited or formal program. The issue of operator certification really escalated when some serious crane accidents were publicized across the country by the media and it was revealed that crane operators were not required to be certified or licensed. I remember hearing, “Why doesn’t a crane operator have to be certified or licensed when a barber and a hair dresser have to be?” quote:Even though there were a few certification programs during the early 90s, an accredited operator certification program was not developed until 1995. Employers began to think more seriously about crane training and certification. Operators began to get certified, even though certification wasn’t required by federal law Of the 4 companies in the United States, two certify by type and capacity and two certify only by type of crane. A stakeholder meeting was held to address concerns that the two type-only companies would have their certifications invalidated by OSHA thinking about requiring type and capacity certification. quote:At the Department of Labor’s stakeholder meeting in early April 2013, participants expressed their views on operators having to be certified by type and capacity. It had become a hot topic that continued to heat up because of the future legality of operators having type-only certifications. Some stakeholders desperately wanted the capacity requirement removed and operators to be certified by type of crane only....In hindsight, I think most participants played into the hands of a couple of powerful entities that used “certification equaling qualification” to get the capacity requirement out of the rule. quote:At a meeting in Washington D.C. on March 31, 2015, the revision was presented to the Advisory Committee on Construction safety and Health (ACCSH). There were significant changes from the original rule. Operator certification by type and capacity had been changed to certification only by type. A training requirement and an operator annual evaluation had been added. Certification equaling qualification had been removed. Numerous people, including me, offered opinions of the changes. quote:Some equipment, such as telescoping-boom mobile cranes, can have very high capacities. Combine this capacity range with the large number of them in the workplace, plus some people’s perception that they are easy to operate, and it is clear that safety requires that operator of this type of equipment be certified by capacity levels. For example, you would not want an operator who tested on a 25-ton crane certified to operate a 250-ton rig. One reason is that the boom length can be so much longer on larger capacity cranes, and the length of the boom is the main thing that determines the skill needed to control the load and operate a crane safely. The rule has still not been finalized, and the deadline for compliance was in fact pushed back to November 2018. While inspectors have been shutting down job sites after finding crane operators to not have any sort of certification, there is still no federal law requiring operators to be certified. Enjoy that thought every time you pass by a crane.

We used to do a zipline about that tall at summer camp when I was a kid. It ended in a lake instead of headfirst into a tree though.

Question from a person who doesn't deal with OSHA too much: I just saw a contractor at work doing something with ceiling tiles and wearing stilts that were 3+ ft tall. How are stilts covered under OSHA? Is there a maximum height? Are they considered safer than repeated ladder ascents?

As far as I can tell there are no rules for them under Federal OSHA construction standards. They're banned across the board in California at least.

You really have to have just the right combination of poo poo go wrong to have a fire at a gas station. I honestly don't believe a cigarette would do it 99.99999999% of the time. I worked at one for four years and we had zero fires during that time, even when someone totalled one of the pumps at like 30 mph. Point is they're in more danger of lung cancer than fire.

It's not the cigarette (too cool to ignite gas anyway), it's the lighter. Or static electricity.
