about 2 months ago a operator forgot to put out his outriggers pump tipped over missed building by inches been operating for 15 yrs.

Please read my post "Guess what I saw on Wednesday" posted 11-6-2008

hey bob the reason i put this in here is because it doesnt matter how long youve been pumping if you get to confident you seem to forget safety alot of times.

You are correct. The rookies are not the ones doing this, it is the experienced ops'.

Poor fella got out of his "ROUTINE". Until there is a dummy switch on every lever...Stay IN Your "ROUTINE"! Be so "routine" that customers notice "First thing outta the cab he pulls his outrigger pins- every single time!" Dont get too comfy & laid-back because as soon as you think you're the $hit - You will infact be in the $hit?

when you get out of your routine,boy I wander what percentage of accidents on concrete pumps are caused by this,in my case just about every time I have screwed up this was the main reason,now if I get out of my routine I double check everything
