loler inspection course

[educated arborist]

It's already here it's called the Abororicultural Association and you can then pay to become a Arboricultural Approved Contractor.

 

Ha!

 

are you new to this industry? only joking, prob best not 2 get into that

IMO. you shouldn't be able to touch a tree unless you are registered, ie like a corgi register, to show you have the qualifications / experience needed to carry out the job safely and without putting the general public at risk.

 

 

 

Every individual should be trained to inspect his/her own gear

 

so dean you want more legislation do you

and are you saying that you think you and everyone else should be TRAINED to inspect gear????? been having a change of thought

[andy goddard]

just to take up this point dean, A group of people from our industry inluding myself are in discussions over creating exactly this, a corgi type system for tree work, PM me your tel no & prehaps you could lend us some input, any meetings are currently held at trust insurances h q board room (thanks geoff) I can feel a new thread comming on.

 

as for loler inspections i feel i could discuss this issue till i'm blue in the face, increasing numbers of firms are having their inspections done & it will certianly be a criteria for arbs equivilent of corgi, watch this space..

 

will it work joe blogs, (the public )would rather pay that little bit less for some bloddy gardener who advertises that he does tree work than a quallified arborist,i think theres too many cowboys out there for the corgi type system great for us professionals if it could happen.....

Training is not legislation, you are confused Bob and I have already explained to you in a PM, I am not anti legislation, I am anti bull shite

It's illegal for a non corgi registered plumber to deal with a gas installation, this is what should happen in the tree care industry, a non trained / qualified person, should not be able to take down / major prune a tree

No mate, just a simple registration form where you use a pen to fill it in and lick the back of a stamp and send it off
