Did some heavy lifting the other night, 52 ton in the air
The rigging straps ar cut away,
for the HSE had killed me if they had seen me
So what is being lifted ?
and what is doing the lifting ?

Yes, basically all your info, taho card and head downloads, inspection records, are digital, and uploaded to them regularly. If everything is in order you get earned recognition. Supposably less likely to be stopped at the road side, or depot checks. Although if something is spotted hanging off, or looks wrong, it wont stop you getting pulled.interesting ... anyone heard of this DVSA scheme?

Every operator has an OCRS rating, simplified to Red/Amber/Green when the DVSA enter your reg, or off their ANPR camera, and ER gives another level to this.

no tacho.s in cranes ... yet ...... that'll really **** the industry and massively increase rates
a mate used to run a Demag 80AT for Ainscough ... would often be in the saddle at 4 a.m. to be in Aberystwyth for 08.00 start .. work all day and maybe home for 9 or 10pm ... he lived in the bloody thing ... his missus made more stacking shelves in Waitrose than he would if he didn't live in it .. summat wrong somewhere, when a man in charge of approaching a million quids-worth of kit is in that position ... went to his funeral about ten years ago .. 42 .. massive heart attack one Sunday morning, lying in bed, whilst his missus had gone down to make them a cuppa ... massive shock for Sarah when she came back and found him gone
