SRT HSE question

[MattyF]

Well if you are saying to them that you’re climbing on a single line, just don’t specify what configuration you are using that line in. ie: doubled or stationary.
In my mind, SRT means Stationary Rope Technique.
DbRT means DouBled Rope Technique.
They’re both single line techniques though!

Regardless of the system you’re using, it’s still a single line, as in one line.
Unless your climbing on twin lines ie: two lines/ropes.

Pretty valid in that case ! Never thought of it like that.

Actually Mark- that might be the nail hit on the head , as muscle an skeleton stress / fatigue is a corner stone of Method Statements . If you could actually 'demonstrate ' to yr boss that SRT is easier on yr body - yr there ! K

 

( Is why tractors have air seats , cars have rear view mirrors , chainsaws have AV mounts etc )

That’s the way I see it Khriss.

I demonstrated it to my boss years ago, and the miserable old bastard eventually agreed.

I’m self-employed.

Oh stop bleating on about your poor bodies and wear and tear etc.

 

It’s not asbestosis, you’re a bit sore, get a longer ladder.

Good point Al.

The acronyms do get a bit blurred.

 

I’ve climbed on two lines about twice in my entire career.

Anyone else?

The asbestosis thing is a bit harsh Mick, my Grandad died of it.
