Dead Man switch Re: I can't seem to find what it
is, does anyone know the

This type of switch requires continual conscious pressure to operate. If the person operating some critical equipment such as driving a train becomes incapacitated the switch will always shut down the equipment. |

How dangerous is painting I got a job a few months ago
painting towers and bridges.
However we have just been
doing machinery since i was
hired. My understanding is we
do inside and out of them. I
wear a bulky "hood" that
supplies my air while
sandblasting even the
equipment and have to drag my
air line "dead mans switch"
blasting line all around with
me how does this all work 150
feet in the air? The money is
so good in this economic
climate i would be stupid not
to do it.

Maybe you can find out what the workmans comp rate is for your kind of work, I suspect it's pretty high. Anytime you're depending on machinery and other humans for your life, there's more risk than staying at home has, that's for sure. But difficult, dangerous jobs pay more money (as you've noticed), too. There's probably nobody else that can make this decision better than you, what risk you're willing to take versus the money it pays you. It might be the best money you ever make, and, at 150 feet up, if you make a mistake, it will probably be over quickly. :) |
