Tommy Schuch was frequently overexposed to cell tower radiation while working as a tower climber.
This video is one of his many firsthand accounts, combined with interviews from top RF experts - exposing how climbers are left with all the risk, while industry and regulators deflect liability and responsibility.
What makes it worse: equipment is often turned back on remotely after being shut off — leaving workers directly in front of live antennas or on the lines with no warning.
This is common across the industry because the system is stacked against climbers:
Hazards completely out of their control
Poor or nonexistent training
Network operation centers remotely powering antennas back on without notice
A structure that sacrifices worker safety to protect corporations

This is a conversation the Industry does not want to have.
In this video, CPG Founder/President Tommy Schuch exposes how climbers are being exploited for pennies on the dollar while bearing all the risks and blame in the event of accidents. With voluntary safety standards that prioritize carriers' profits over worker safety, climbers are left with the cards stacked against them. He dives into the conflict of interest between NATE, NWSA, and the carriers funding them, revealing how these organizations protect corporate interests while ignoring the systemic issues that put climbers' lives on the line.
It’s time for real accountability and enforceable safety regulations that put workers first.

Tower climbers work in out in the open. Yet with most people clueless who is behind cell phone signals, internet connection and emergency communications, the Industry has long been allowed to operate in the shadows resulting in exploitation, unsafe practices, lack of oversight, and a dangerous push for profit over people.
