      Brian didn’t accidentally hit him. The guy cutting the tree is also dogging the crane. The crane driver can’t see what you see from on the cab. The guy rigging the load should communicate with the crane driver until he has a clear view of the hook. The guy in the tree needs to do some dogging training. “Yep” doesn’t mean stop. And asking what he wants to do? The crane driver is literally just pressing the buttons you ask him to.

If self esteem comes through achievement, then acknowledgement from a foreman and super, when deserved, serves as an indicator of achievement.

    Never put your stabilizers on sidewalks.
    There is no structural standards for sidewalks, no rebar, low psi mix. You would have been better off cribbing on the grass. It is less likely to suddenly break and cause the crane/load to shift.

    Any place you put an outrigger down should have cribbing under it, dirt,grass sidewalks. I would use a sidewalk with a load pad or large area cribbing before I would trust soil. You need to distribute the footprint to the largest area you can make. You can never trust soil as being compacted properly to support an outrigger. When the boom is directed over that outrigger the load on that corner will skyrocket. For that new crane you should buy or make some 3x5x4" steel/concrete crane pads as the base, then crib as needed to level.
    Boom deflection will vary according to line load, as you get to use the crane you will learn about how much deflection for a given load. The jib will lower the available load capabilities and add to the deflection of the main boom just because of how it is attached. Always consult your load chart for proper capabilities.

      Given the circumstances, it's the safest thing they could have done. Climbing is risky in its own right, truck lifts are too short and scissor lifts need a very level solid floor. Then there are helicopters, but way out of budget and the hard-to-get licenses would kill their business.
