I would like to see various (and many) tips of climbing onto what we fabricate and assemble for our customer base. those items we call "Skids". these can be compressors, gensets, pipe extentions, oil warmer systems, etc. we assemble them on a skid which we fabricate. after fabrication (welding) the components are assembled. During assembly is where risk of falling, slipping, setting a ladder where it is needed which may not be stable, stepping on rounded pipe, small flanges. One must make sure all spills are cleaned up and perhaps a better type of sole on steel toe work boots are an advantage over another type of sole on work boot bottoms. May I suggest that you look up and review a skid mounted compressor and imagine 4 - 6 individuals climbing on this product during assembly. these skids can be any where from 4' X 6' to large ones at 40' X 60". We use cranes (1 ton and larger when needed) to aid during assembly and many item need to torqued to a limit, taking two individuals at times to torque. Many different items in various positions to fall on or stumble on. Just a suggestion.
