wow! :thumbdown:

[Heads up]

Truely shocking, i'm totally gobsmacked infact. SO much wrong in those videos, how someone wasn't killed is amazing. Those "instructors" should be sacked without question. The amount of people (16 at least) milling around in tree and on the deck was such a hazard.

Having had a close call from a big branch snapping out from the chains as i came in to turn it, to seeing so many guys standing around the pick scares the snot out of me.

Crazy balancing( if you can call it that)

mental cutting

lack of PPE

shock loading a crane

 

even my dog could tell you that looked deadly!

Probably for the best.

real scary stuff that! I am surprised nobody caught any of those limbs in the face the way they shot passed them. If that was a training day then i truly am at a loss for words...

No sure I'd fancy using that crane again on any kind of a job. It looks to me as there is no though put into the job at all just tie her in a cut. Mental to think they are being taught this.

some of the method's shown in the above footage (shock loading a crane and causing limbs to swing on the hook are some of the easyest ways to tke a crane out of its radius and thus cause the crane to topple over , it is exactly these reasons that crane works within the arboricultural industry have got some bad PR for being "really dangerous" . i am amazed the crane opperator carried on adter the first time this happened . I did also notice that each limb (lift) was numbered - was this because the crane company insisted on a detailed method statement ? was if for a system of contract lifts ? either way this video clearly shows that there is a distinct lack of respect for health and safety when it comes to training future tree surgeons over there
