[QUOTE="Per Søvik, post: 73236, member: 1285"] Re: Another flying issue Definitely, there are risks in the second-hand market, but again I believe the trend you see in Norway is that rigs are handed off as complete sets with the proper rigging hardware as opposed to a collection of boxes with no rigging hardware that you often find in the bigger markets. Unfortunately that is true for any line of work that involves heavy equipment with the potential to maim and kill. Strict rules and good systems for competence assurance could go a long way of making a lot of things safer, but in the end it all comes down to individuals. Individuals doing the job, individuals certifying the ones that do the job, individuals signing off on jobs etc. ...and that's where being Norwegian is an asset. In our culture we have a healthy disrespect for authority, we are not afraid to challenge and speak our mind and we are brought up to think for ourselves. Working for a multinational company with facilities in different parts of the world I can state with confidence that the average Norwegian worker is more likely than most to react when things don't look right. Obviously, you still need the competence to tell when things are not right :?~:-?~:???: [/QUOTE]
