To all my friends from Australia, England, Germany, Mexico, Canada, and outside of the USA please send me your links to your equivalent to the OSHA in the USA so I can understand what your countries are doing better than the US in tower climbing process and safety regulations. I need it for an upcoming blog. Thank you in advance! If it’s easier, email me at Wade4wireless@gmail.com.

Also, tell me what you need in the way of hardware on a regular job!
