Hi all,

 

I'' curious to the answer regarding what prerequisites exist for attending chainsaw from rope in harness, not in relation to climbing but chainsaw aspect.

 

If an individual only holds a Lantra chainsaw assessment and not NPTC can the achieve the NPTC ticket for chainsaw from rope and harness or do they need to complete the small trees, cross cut & assessment first?

 

All opinions welcome however some link to text based facts would be great (can't find anything myself!).

 

Thanks,

 

Ali

For aerial use of a chainsaw the pre requisites are the Level 2 awards in chainsaw maintenance, cross cutting and felling upto 380mm.

 

Completion of the Lantra Awards Level 2 Awards (rather than the ITA training course with felling up to 200mm) will be acceptable for going forward to do an NPTC certificate, just as Lantra Awards would accept the corresponding C&G Level 2 Awards.

 

Both sets of qualifications are accepted in the industry, but they do need to be the completed qualification. The only confusion that has occurred has been where individuals have completed the Lantra ITA training course, which is designed for use by 'occasional users', i.e. those not employed within forestry and arb for whom chainsaw use is a core element of their work, rather than the regulated qualification.
