Tower climbing is not an easy field to work in, and often, cell tower climbers are called to travel away from their home town to scale and repair as needed. They work in crazy conditions all year long to unsure that we have working towers. Being a tower technician can be a dangerous job so we are grateful for everything they do! Team Larson would be nothing without them! #Thankful #Towertechappreciation #Teamlarson #telecom

Understanding how to use your personal fall protection equipment correctly could save your life! Training is key to selecting the right equipment, working safely and going home at the end of the day
Being a Telecoms rigger in a past life, working at height on structures was my bread and butter. I never really understood the link between clearance heights and selecting the right equipment though. I took it for granted that the equipment provided would protect me - just work and do its job. Moving to SpanSet was a real eye opener. I was struck by a wider understanding and realised there were many more equipment options and ways of working than I had seen previously. As an Instructor for many years, I saw how some people struggled with information just like I had. Making the most of Fall Arrest takes both knowledge and experience which not everyone has. Now working in Sales, I enjoy using my background to understand the problems workers at height have on different jobs and providing them with the solutions I would have liked when I was a Rigger. With a young family I realise the importance of earning a living and above all, making sure we all go home safely to them at the end of the day. https://lnkd.in/eV3ACzNU #NoFallsWeek #TrustTheExperts #TrustSpanSet

Simple solution to a safety issue.

❄️ Check out this video of a Rope Access Technician clearing snow from overhead cables of the Port Mann bridge in Vancover BC 🇨🇦 Video Credit: https://lnkd.in/g3r52efq The reason why it’s necessary to clear the snow is not to keep rust from forming but rather to prevent ice from accumulating and falling on cars passing below. Opened in 2012, the Port Mann bridge serves as a key transportation artery for Metro Vancouver, facilitating roughly 100,000 crossings daily. However, just weeks after its opening, a December 2012 winter storm caused ice and snow to accumulate on the cables. Subsequent falling "ice bombs" damaged over 300 vehicles, including broken windshields, dents, and minor injuries to drivers. Finger-pointing ensued between the various engineering teams and consultants with no one really accepting ownership of the problem. To address the safety concern, cable collars (which are basically just large chains wrapped around the cables), were implemented in the fall of 2013. Manually deployed by Rope Access Technicians (affectionately known as RATS) scaling down from the pylon above, these collars slide down the cables dislodging accumulated snow and ice before it becomes large enough to cause damage. Definitely not something you see on most bridges but a pretty cool days work for the technicians involved. #ropeaccess #ropeaccesstechnician #towerclimber #vancouverbc #ice #bridgeengineering #oops #cooljobs #wintersafety

It’s absolutely a career. No reason why a tech couldn’t make a good wage and have the opportunity to have some “house accounts” they manage for commission. I had a couple of technicians where the client didn’t want to talk to me (ops manager) they wanted to talk to that technician. They trusted them, spent the most time with them, and already had their phone number. There’s so many ways to structure a package for a tech where they have the most amazing career doing what they want and your company benefits from happy clients. There isn’t a Huge step from technician to PM as far as being able to manage some accounts. You can “gamify” this industry, the careers, and even your business if you want. There’s no rules. Make the clients happy. Make your people happy. Maybe yourself happy. That’s the dish you’re trying to make, you can use whatever recipe you want.
Is being a Restoration technician a job or a career? What it is and what it should be might be different answers. This question has me getting eaten alive inside and and am wanting to fix it.

I believe that most, not all but most people, when given respect will respond with the same. Excellent pay, benefits and training will attract and retain top talent that will watch the “till” when the owner can’t. Give people the chance at a real career, with all that entails, and then communicate what is needed for them to maintain that and you will have a successful operation. Make the job impossible to replace and they will do what it takes to protect it. Machines and supplies won’t get lost, wasted or misused. Efficiency will go up. Client satisfaction will go up and the carriers will begin to respond too when they begin to see better results. The adjusters have bosses, and those bosses have bosses, and they all get feedback from the clients too. If you make their jobs easier by making sure that they get less pushback then you will get less pushback. It starts with you, own it! You set the tone. If you act as though you deserve it (entitled) then you will reap entitlement. If you approach every day as though YOU must earn it, then you will find yourself surrounded by people willing to earn it. It is cynical to believe otherwise but it is a difficult leap of faith to trust this model because we are all being told, all the time, that people suck so you need to just get yours. The clients, the carriers, the laborers, the TPA’s, etc., they are all people like you and they can’t all suck. If you think that it is everyone else and that you are the only sane, good or hardworking one then… In short, respecting and honoring the efforts of your people, your boots on the ground, is about playing the long game. If you focus on short term success then that is all you will ever have.

One of the most frequently asked questions is: "How long does a service appointment take?" Most homes require about 3 hours. When the service appointment is complete, our lead technician will check in with you to overview your completed list of service items. You will also receive a final report via email with a completed checklist of all service items completed, along with before and after photographs of select service items. If any additional issues with your property are discovered, our technician will overview them with you and cite them in the report if requested
