Cambium saver the opposite way round. That is what I always thought, But I've never done any crane work, so could well be wrong!!

How about a man basket!

 

Just use a round sling and mark it up for that purpose, so that its not used for rigging or anything else.

I thought this practice was a bit naughty... as it does not comply with PUWER??

 

I don't agree by the way and might just of been someone thinking aloud..

 

Does anyone know if it is in conflict with PUWER?

 

Had heard of crane driveres refusing to lift persons into a tree/or above the tree to carry out dismantling even though its the safest option in some circumstances...

I got told 'no can do' by a large crane hire company,but the driver was ok with it.

Riding the ball is legal I believe but it's really up to the operator/crane company.

Used the crane chair once, waste of time, Cambium saver over the hook every time.

to the letter, you can ride the boom (with your system attached) but not (directly to the) ball, though you can if your in a basket!
