Field notes
Notes from the dispatch desk
Eight articles on what belongs on the ticket before a crew is named.
Lift height in feet is written down first
The ticket starts with lift height in feet.
Next: where the frames tie to the building
Where the frames tie to the building changes what the crew brings.
Sidewalk, dirt, or a roof to stand on
Sidewalk, dirt, or a roof to stand on is not a routine note.
How long the scaffold stays up
How long the scaffold stays up decides the load.
One local crew for the callback, address after they claim it
One company is offered the request.
Ash takes the height
The yard loads frames for a height, not for a vague elevation.
Tie-ins
A free-standing tower and a tied wall scaffold are different builds.
One crew, then they call back
The window is offered to the nearest paid scaffold company in range. The caller hears that company will call back. The street address shows after the claim.
