Default Re: Tree Lopping Design Project help???

Ace, they pic on the spurs coz that would be the path if the tree or you were energized. The D's on your harness ... hmmm, unless they're touching the tree nope, not the same.

Playford, most accident are people unclipping and not checking their biners, not clicking in right, not tying the correct knots.

How many are "tree loppers" anyway? Just guys with a saw! Sure they can climb trees and cut them down but they have no idea of rigging forces, knots, OHS, ropes, SWL etc etc etc .... I know, I have hired enough of the fools.

How many fed themselves into a chipper? Pretty smart eh? Workcover claims will give you a distorted perspective, perhaps if they regulated and licenced the industry we wouldn't have so many idiots in it.
