  • Ok on that lame Comment BY representative Greg Evers all he cares about is getting some one at a college paid to certify the operators when a seasoned operator will know more then some geek in a suit pretending he/she knows something about operating him book smarts is not always better hands on small jobs first then go up in scale will make a better operator as long as safety is observed most accidents can be avoided

  • Comment removed

  • work union lol

  • one of the problems is operators don't have the balls to tell someone No, too heavey , out of reach, don't sling it that way ,, etc etc, I see jerks o good few times a year saying "oh , you can lift it" , etc.: I have no problem telling people to get lost , ( 12 years owner operator)..maybe thats the problem some older foreman telling a young operator what to do..Listen to me you young operator if you have a license to operate a crane then you have a license to tell the foreman to screw

  • is it an bird, is it a plane no its a fukking crane

  • Want to see it happen. Not the story after it.!

  • Please get a safety program....

    National Safety Consulting

  • Just let anyone set up and run a crane, how stupid is Florida?

  • Another problem is the foremen who get their job by smootching their way up the ladder. The ones that keep that white hat real shiny and don't know squat. Their heads are glued to a cell phone and don't focus on the guys in the field. There are some good foremen out there but they are disgusted with the newbie project managers and retard engineers. I'll tell you what...A good foreman is worth more than a truck load of retard white hats.

  • Definitely.... "Safety First". Personally I think tower cranes a outright dangerous anyway and I prefer not to work with them.

  • I'll go way out on a limb. Way out. I've had my operators ticket for 20+ years but I aint old. I've worked a bunch of jobs...Union and non. I've met some cool people and worked for some of the dumbest. The recent series of crane wrecks are the result of the white hats. The dummies from engineering without hair one on their nutsack are the big problem. No experience. If someone dies on their watch they bitch about the paperwork. How can we fix this?

  • Those suits are so full of it. I've had an operator's ticket since the know it all age of 19 and I'm still learning. The CCO and NCCO and all those other book type know it all creeps don't know squat. I'd trust the grizzled operator yelling in my ear more than their textbooks. He never thought about a computer purchase but I'd trust his word as law. He's the guy that will teach me how to see the crew home at the day's end. Some white shirt computer geek is already home.

  • It's not weird. It's management and the big push. It's project deadlines and cost overruns. Cost cutting and timelines. The guys in the field don't kill their own. It's the white hard hats that kill. Dumb newbie engineers and over eager Project managers kill us blue collar guys. The white hard hats die at home because they eat too much. Us blue collar guys die because of them. They don't listen.

  • contractors being pushed to get the job done fast. crane inspectors not doing what there supposed to do!

  • Yep, keep hiring non-union contractors and you will keep seeing accidents like this.

    Don't be stupid, UNION YES!!!

  • You blow hard union retards have alot of nerve. I'm a non union operator and the worst jobs and accidents I have ever seen have been union jobs. It has nothing to do with union or non union. You talk alot but get nothing accomplished thats why I won't join

  • Hey, no offense to you personally but look at the stats. Majority of the cranes, in florida, that have collapsed or towers failed have come from non-union companies.

  • crane crane i know your name.

  • what's with all the crane accidents?? weird
