If that's a Trimble receiver then it's about $10,000 worth of equipment that might be soaked if those guys slipped.
They deserve a raise!
:stakeout:
Receiver is too big to be an R10 and too small to be an R8... Controller looks like a TSC3 but it's the wrong color...
Looks like new Trimble R2
That's an SPS985 receiver and surveyors in Louisiana do that all the time.
Not up to his neck but you get the point.
The biggest issue for me here would be violation of safety policy. Fired? Not, if this is 1st occurrence, but if this repeated thing - for sure gone.
It's the boss. Cannot fire the boss!
I'd have to let them go, I mean no hard hat, no safety vest, I just can't tolerate that!!!
I must be missing something?
What guys?
No picture, no link. Lee D's picture is visible.
I had the same problem Dave. I turned off "Privacy Badger" and I could see the photo. Weird?
If by fired you mean given a raise then yes. Does insurance cover receivers that took a bath?
Okay, probably the web nanny which I can't turn off.
I can see someone else's photo. Maybe it's a format the web nanny doesn't like.

water is now unsafe? there is obviously no current, people float, just walk to the side and get dry in the sun.

Boats like canoes or pirogues or whatever, are so over rated. 🙂
When the water gets any where near going over the top of my chest waders, it's time to find a boat.

The collector can handle it. I assume the receiver can handle a short swim. Blowing rain for 8 hours doesn't seem to bother any of our stuff, but we do use Topcon. No idea if the Trimble stuff can say the same.
Why is the data collector in the water, should have long enough range with bluetooth to stay on land.
Does not appear to meet Inland Marine Insurance requirements.
Your liability insurance will not cover you.
