She grabbed the safety rope of a tree surgeon who at the time was climbing up a tree with an active chainsaw in his hands.

apologies if discussed before but caught my eye.

eco-mentalist nutjob, who would almost certainly be the first to kick up a fuss and demand the council does something if a dead branch had fallen off the tree.

lock her in a padded room with a mirror so she can shout at her own reflection

More amused by the fact that Forestry Journal (and by extension Essential Arb) is a sister publication to the Wirral Globe. I had no idea it was the mainstream media.

I do this to lads on drt. Especially if I can tie it off and there is a big shot to pelt them with stuff while they’re trapped. I thought it was a perk of the job?

Me being boring of course.

On my sites there is zero tolerance for any sort of practical joke or tomfoolery with climbing gear, climbers, or machinery.

Mick, I think Paul Elcoat has hacked your account. 
 

No, I respect that. In the immortal words of one of the company owners I work for.

I’m with Mick. Small practical jokes escalate into bigger ones. Not safe. And you’re not being paid to joke. Time spent doing that is money out of someone’s pocket.
 

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not joyless but workshops and places like tree sites are not places to lark about.
 

Two things I was told at the beginning of my first workshop job:

1. Nobody will ever tell you off for hitting the emergency stop button. 

2. Never joke about accidents. People could come running, slip and then there’s a real accident. And it’s just not funny anyway.  

Both apply to tree sites I think.

Every rule in the rule book is off the back of an accident.
