    What do you think will change if Scotland is given independence. Ive spent a lot of time in Scotland working its a beautiful country. Use to hate the winters waking up frozen to the side of the caravan was never good a good start to the day.

    A loaded timber lorry will soon find the soft bits Most driver will tell you its your responsibility to get them out if stuck. Ive had it happen with an 8 wheeler and it took some getting out even with the right machinery

    Genie lifts are the best machines on the market but get an operator that does not know the limitations and you would be surprised at the outcome. Im afraid by the very nature of the job the machines were used beyond there limits 140 ft of jib can be wispy at best My answer is if your not confident in your machines ability or are nervous about falling stay on tera firma. How often is your machine checked.

    I never tied in to the basket in all the years I was in a picker. When I started I was expected to walk steel so getting in a picker was a dream come true. But never felt safe been tied to it. We had this drummed into us on ipaff and other courses If your harness is connected to the fall arrester at the rear and you fall out of picker and are left dangling 20 mins the bload supply will be cut off to your legs and you no what that means. Trust me I've been hung from a rear connect harness it's not good.

    Get in a 140 ft genie lift boom it out and pull the joy stick down you will not stop in the basket. The requirements of health and safety cover all mewps one can be very different from another . I never clipped in to a picker when on the steel as it was my biggest feet been trapped in a basket going down seen it happen and the outcome. If putting a rope in makes you feel better crack on but id practice the procedure as i think it all take longer than you think to set it and go getting over the side of a basket is harder than you think. What sort of harness are you wearing when in the picker Mind you id love to read the risk assessment

    Spent a lot of Tim in a picker accidents happen in a flash no time to think you may get enough time to jump if your lucky. Mewps used in arb are a lot different to construction I've never really felt safe in a machine that has jacks. Mind you there's nothing like moving a 140 straight boom while out at full extension to wake you up in the morning an inch on the ground is two foot in the basket. Especially if some clown had doctored the speed control.
