Climbing under supervision

Recommended Posts

Can any trainers / assessors give a definitive answer on whether un-certificated staff are allowed to undertake aerial work under direct supervision of certified & experienced staff? I have not heard of this before, but I saw it mentioned on a training company's website - and it stated it  was a "legal" and acceptable way for new staff to get experience & time off the ground.

Any clarification / caution of grey areas much appreciated - thanks

Yip,2 climbers,1 trainee,1 experienced

Is that 2 climbers, 1 experienced and 1 trainee. Or 2 climbers and the trainee.

If it is 1 climber and trainee and both are climbing you will need someone capable of aerial rescue to rescue the experienced climber if required....  But I guess it is OK if the experienced climber is just supervising and not actually climbing..

Climb trees and perform arerial rescue used to be a pre-requisite for CS39. Regardless, I wouldn't let an inexperienced climber use a saw in the tree if they couldn't rescue a)themselves or b) someone else. 
Is there a need for seperate aerial rescue if two climbers are in the tree?

1 trainee climber

1 experienced climber

1+ 1= 2

Did you really ask me that when i said that in my first post?

  is ambiguous. It could have been read 2 climbers + 1 trainee.. 2+1=3

But its not and it isnt.

How can 2 climbers,1 trainee

1 experienced be interpreted as 3?

2 or maybe even 4 i could see

but 3??
