Puns aside, do you have a stretcher in all vehicles? A recent jobsite inspection by Oregon OSHA identified that the crew was stretched too thin. They did not have a stretcher on site.
OSHA fines are on the rise. We must prepare for everything within our control. One thing in our control is the contents of our work rig. Stretchers must be present, if three or more workers are on site. A foldable stretcher may be all that is needed, like shown in the link below. This isn’t the best option for a stretcher, but it will work in an emergency, and could save you a ticket if your main stretcher doesn’t make it to the jobsite. Make sure all employees know the location of the stretcher. One place to buy a stretcher.
