Starting from the Groundie

points 3,4,7,8 and 23 need revising or deleting.

 

some of the things just arent all down to the groundsman, an example, sheathing of saws. I wouldnt expect the groundsman to sheath my saws..and definetly wouldnt want anyone but me anywhere near sharpening my chains, or gaffs

ground work is almost a minimum wage job. i dont see why they should be told when to take a dump, services vehicles, be responsible for what kit is on the van blah blah blah.

I started as a groundie. It's like a brickies labourer - try to anticipate everyone else's needs, think ahead - always! Try to have it all cleared up as they drop it! Learn your ropes and knots, carry stuff and think ahead. Watch what they are doing - never roll a fag without doing theirs, they needeth a fix to (Use theirs)! Drive, carry, lug, drag, push go for it and do not forget to ask whats next!!! Good Luck, a good groundie is a climber as well....(albeit next year and when your a good climber in a team - you must advise or tell). Above all, ask, question, then do it!

 

TEAM SPIRIT WINS, ALWAYS.

Point 3 - So your groundies don't need a driver's license or reliable transportation to work?

 

Point 4 - I see nothing there that wouldn't be out of place. It's OK for a groundie to jump in a truck first thing in the morning and not check the oil? Or look to see he wasn't backing out over anything?

 

Point 7 - I see nothing there that wouldn't work in the UK.

 

Point 8 - Same as above

 

Point 23 - Same as above

 

That handbook would work from China to Peru.
