>>2758543>Any job that has you actually working outdoors every day is going to suck ass for reasons that should be obvious.Any engineering or engineering-adjacent job that involves work outdoors, also likely involves some indoor work as well.
I'll call safety-stops on jobs if things get out of hand - either we don't have the right tools to do the job the right way, or there's weather moving in creating a dangerous environment to work in, or something happens which changes our plan.
Being on a tower in a lightning storm is not a place you want to be. Towers make weird noises when there's that much static in the air.
I've had a grass fire flare up across the road, maybe 1/4mi from the tower I was on. Didn't have that in our JSA. We ended up relaying info about that fire to our ground team, who got that back to fire dispatch; we were the ones that initially called it in. Quick discussion between myself and my other tower tech about our evac plan, and communicate that plan with our ground crew. (Now there's a fire watch camera on that tower (that I installed), kek)
I'll schedule my field work around the weather forecast. If it looks shitty, i'll plan on getting office/admin work done. If the weather's nice, i'll be getting outside work done.
I haven't been fucked over too many times, but I do get chased off towers/sites by lightning a couple times a year.
