Just come back from picking up my little brother. Was walking done the road and head the sounds of a chipper and saw running, walked past the house the lads where working at and up in the tree was a guy with a 200t sat on a branch operating one handed, no ppe not even a helmet and saftey glasses and nothing attaching him to the tree same goes for the groundie operating the chipper..............these are the guys that need to be out of buisness!!!!!!

isnt it in bs3998 or afag that its best practice for a chainsaw to be used only when a silky cut isnt viable?

 

i finished college last year and have been climbing since, and spent the first few weeks furious that they hadn't even remotely let us experiment one handed when it is almost an absolute necessity in some tricky household reductions if you want to finish before midnight.

they should no doubt in my mind be mentioning it in the cs39 trainings, even if its not actually in the exam,

but as some people have already said, common sense is not an acquired thing.

 

There will always be someone found cutting out their anchor point with their left hand, with the right hand ready to catch it, but i suppose how else to insurance companies survive.

It's also best practice to steer your car using the ten to two method and always stay under the speed limit :biggrin:
