Had a close call with a power line on a job in Tampa last spring
We were setting roof trusses on a house, and I was focused on the load. My spotter yelled just as my boom got within maybe 10 feet of a line I didn't see. We stopped everything right then. My boss made us do a full site walk with the whole crew the next morning to mark every single hazard. Now I do that walk myself before I even start the truck, no matter how simple the pick seems. Anyone else have a rule they started after a near miss like that?
