health and safety question

[Matt Butler]

There is a 4 man team on a hot day , they are busy reducing a medium sized tree which will take up their afternoon. The climbers is busy up the tree and he is wearing a helmet conforming to bsen12492 and type c trousers conforming to bsen381-5. Anyway, he finishes the reduction and descends from the tree and onto the floor. The appointed team leader asks the climber to help drag the remainder of the brash, should the climber,

 

A. decline as he is hot and thirsty and needs a rest and a drink

B. say no i'm a climber don't you know

C. ask the team leader why the ground crew couldn't keep up (am i working too fast?)

D. say i'm happy to help but should i first change my helmet to one conforming to en 397 as mine has a chin strap which will not break if it gets caught in brash and i could get dragged through the chipper. Also, i'm very hot in these type c trousers so can i first change into a pair of type a's?

 

Finally, before i forget, if D is the correct answer, and all four team members are climbers and alternate climbing/ground work on each job, does this mean that they nead to carry 8 helmets and 8 pairs of trousers??????

If I were the climber I'd be asking WTF have 3 grondies been doing while I was up the tree????????????????????????????

 

I always help my groundie when I get down, but their are only two of us.

Undo your chin strap?

 

 

I have never met anyone who changes their helmet to drag and chip brash... I doubt they exist.

The climber should put your gear away, grab a swig and then pitch in with the lads, (change your trollies if needed) if the crew are anything like there would be little for you to do anyhow.

 

You dont need a pair of type A's becasue there are others there who can do the cutting so any old work pants will do.

i forgot to say that the ground crew have been dragging through 2 gardens, over a stream, up an alley way, and then finally across a field (all the options were explored but this was the best access they could get)
