And that has what to do with this thread?

an observation

Some very good points raised.

 

But rather than talk amongst yourselves, join this discussion forum that is set up by HSE ESPECIALLY to hear from you (us):

 

http://webcommunities.hse.gov.uk/inovem/inovem.ti/afagpublic/messageshowthread?threadid=1006

 

You will have to reg your email and a password, then Go to discussions.

 

The common complaint from those at the top that can effect change, is they don't hear from enough grass roots to effect change.

 

Please, get involved.

 

Thanks for that Laz. I have been watching the proceedings with interest. Some real rants on that forum!

 

As it happens, there has been a response to the rants which clarifies the aerial rescue situation. It seems it is just a reinforcement of the fact that gangs should be prepared and set up for rescue situations and if there is an accident and there is nothing in place to facilitate this the HSE will, and have, prosecute.

 

Fair enough. It's just a shame these things are not in black and white and easy to interpret.

 

As Andy said - most even bothering to ponder this will be on the ball anyway.

In a polite fashion - Bollocks.

 

The onus should be for the HSE to seek out us to get our opinion. Arbtalk has probably the greatest amount of easily accesable industry opinion, so why are the relevant organisations not participating here? why should we have to go seek them out?

 

I also take umbridge with the post about Powerline cutting contractors. Utility arborists are the safest and best health and safety organized in the industry. We HAVE to be, as we get audited every 2 - 3 weeks.
