Why I built this site.
As a leader in the crane industry, I have spent a good deal of time trying to get OSHA and others so wake up to the the need for proper inspections and training. Seeing as they would rather bend their knee to the almighty dollar, I’m not turning to YOU, the general public, to hopefully bring the pressure to bear that will ultimately bring needed change. It is time that companies start caring for the lives of workers, operators, and yes, innocent pedestrians and commuters. There is no excuse for the recent accidents other than greed, poor working conditions, little or no training for operators. It is past time that we hold those that are supposed to look after our safely responsible when they are so thoroughly failing us every day.
