Good books for the basics of rigging?

[Andy Clark]

David, probably my role to blush for not making sure people were aware of it previously, altho I thought it had been mentioned on forum before

 

 

 

As Andy quite rightly points out even this is now dated, as is anything once published, but we are currently (actively) 'working towards' production of and Industry Code of Practice (ICOP, not to be confused with A(approved)COP of course whihc has 'quasi-legal' status) and this will lead on to the publication of practice guidance notes including rigging. Timescales, hmmm, hopefully by end of the year n poss sooner, once a sponsor for production of the document has been found.)

 

 

 

Cheers fer now...hope yer enjoying the snow, just 'slush' here in S.Devon)

Paul, interesting post.

 

Surely that's a bit pointless though? Stable doors and bolting horses and all that?

 

I mean, the ICOP already exists. - albeit now out of publication. It's called AIS 23 (or 30 or whatever number the HSE settled on) LOLER - How the regulations apply to arboriculture.

 

Surely what you're suggesting in the above is in fact just a repeat of similar AA publications to that such as A guide to good climbing practice, and A guide to the use of MEWPS in arboriculture? In which case means the publication of a 'guide', not a COP?

 

I'm not even sure the AA as a trade organisation would have the authority to produce/publish a COP would it? 'Industry' or otherwise?
