Three Do,s

Why is it we find ourselves up in the trees working at speed then? Surely the higher you price a job the slower you can work, thereby decreasing the risk of an accident?

Dave u trying to tempt fate.

 

no i don't believe that sort of superstitious clap trap,but I'll just find some wood to touch,i bet your really slow and careful aren't you Barry!:wave:

speed is always a funny one its more about effeciency and depends on staff levels drag distance and chipper capabilities if i am dismantling next to 11inch chipper with 3 groundsmen i will work harder to keep them occupied where as 20metre drag to a 6 inch with 1 groundsman nice steady pace generally we process up the tree as groundies should be chipping brash not processing

i am the fastest climber at work but you will never see me rushing its all down to planning and positioning!

p.s if speed is how fast you can put the tree on the floor so that groundies are burried and take longer to chip up imho thats piss poor its about effecient working from one tea breakj to the next

Over the years I have decided that this is the wrong way to approach my work, what the ground people are doing will never dictate wether I should speed up.

These days I work at my pace in the tree, and no groundies or bosses will ever change that.

 

If you are working harder to keep the groundies occupied then there is something wrong IMHO.

If a climber is too slow, then he has been sent up the wrong tree by a piss poor boss.

i always just take my time,approach the job in an efficiant and safe manner,dont kill youself to get it done,things take as long as they take and if the job is well pricedthere really isnt any need to

Good point Bob i only normally work with one groundie and he does not use a saw,so i cut every thing ready for chipping up the tree,lower almost nothing, i will always stop and wait if needs be to allow him to move bash so he doesn't have a tangle to fight with,you need to work smart not quick.

[vduben]

you need to work smart not quick.

aye aye

Hey call me lazy but i slow up if there loads of crap on the floor i like to think of this as a work reduction tactic.

 

Im getting some spikes and that made me poop myself im going to custom make some calf protection.

 

And boys boys i must say these are some nice comments did you all get laid or sommin lol.
