Bryan,
Back in May I observed a delivery driver for a major rental company picking up a JLG man lift from one of my subs.

Cheers,
John
Since John nor I are scaffolding experts I turned to my...

Bryan,
I love your newsletter and agree that it is a constant struggle to get associate’s to think about not only doing their job correctly, but to do it safely. I am attaching some photos I took and put into one of our monthly safety talks on PPE and why we use it. The forklift in the photos is commonly referred to as a stockpicker, cherrypicker or...
