We kick things off with a hard truth: most incidents don’t happen because techs don’t know better — they happen because of overconfidence, rushing, and complacency. From there, we dig into the practices that keep technicians safe on every job.

Here’s what we cover:

• Ladders — Proper setup, the critical 77.5° angle rule, 100% tie-off, and why the transition on and off a ladder is the single most dangerous moment on the job. Real stories from real injuries drive the point home.
• PPE — Eye protection, gloves, and proper footwear for slick rooftops. We talk through why techs skip personal protective equipment even when they know better — and how to finally build better habits.
• Lockout Tagout — When working around high-voltage electricity, being careful isn’t enough. We walk through lockout/tagout procedures, testing before touching, and why insulated tools are non-negotiable for more than just electrical work.
• Stored Energy & More — Electrical, mechanical, thermal, gravitational, and pressure hazards that HVAC techs face every day — and how to anticipate them before they become incidents.
• Fleet & Vehicle Safety — Weekly walkarounds, oil checks, tire blowouts, trailer hookups, and QR-code maintenance reporting to keep your van road-ready.

The small, quiet decisions you make in the field are the ones that matter most. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, this is a safety refresher worth your time.
