Just what I need in Christmas week - an ethical dilemma!
We've said exactly the same but that would have an impact on his ability to earn money 🙄
Here?Why not set up a poll...
Here?
Or in the office??
Yeah. In my former company, we had problems persuading staff to follow the rules (a) clipping on when working g at height and (b) wearing respirator in gas trenches. All the behavioural modification techniques - gory case studies, emotional videos about families left behind etc- in the book had limited effect ... until, as I recall, we started sacking people for not following the rules, whereupon compliance increased dramatically.We've said exactly the same but that would have an impact on his ability to earn money 🙄
We never used to bother clipping on 20 yrs ago, in fact you were looked upon as a bit of a Wuss if you did, thankfully the job has changed since then and it's not worth the risk of losing your job not to follow the rules nowadays (and falling off of course) but being vaccinated isn't compulsory.Yeah.

Can we still call it Christmas week? I thought it's now the Holiday Season ;-)Just what I need in Christmas week - an ethical dilemma!

It doesn't really bother me from a safety point of view but the reason he gives is a bit lame.
When I first trained to climb pylons, the rule was that you could climb up the climbing leg (the one with step bolts) free, but had to attach when working. So if you fell off anywhere other than by the climbing leg, that was a giveaway that you must have been breaking the rules and working without clipping on. So, allegedly, there were instances where someone fell off, and the first thing their mates did was to drag their injured body over to the climbing leg before calling the ambulance....We never used to bother clipping on 20 yrs ago, in fact you were looked upon as a bit of a Wuss if you did, thankfully the job has changed since then and it's not worth the risk of losing your job not to follow the rules nowadays (and falling off of course) but being vaccinated isn't compulsory.

I've worked on Pylons too, only in a telecom capacity so never out on the arms or wires and they had a 'latchway ' fall arest system fitted to many which meant you still didn't have to attach whilst climbing as such because you were connected via the 'trolley ' years later they condemned them all and made you attach using your lanyards but left the wire system in place which is completely in the way!When I first trained to climb pylons, the rule was that you could climb up the climbing leg (the one with step bolts) free, but had to attach when working.
