Cs32??

[ifanrhys]

Once Ive passed the 30/31 and went on to climbing/aerial rescue and cut from rope......would it still mean I couldnt cut or fell any wood/tree over 380mm diameter?

If i climbed to trim a tree down in sections......once I reached the 380mm max....would that mean I couldnt carry on with the job???

windblow has totally changed as is one course now as spoke to a trainer and includes single and multiple blow

If you section down & just fell the stem there is no need for larger than 380mm qualification. Only required if you will be felling whole tree in one without removing crown.

But you'd need a CS41 or equivalent to dismantle the tree:sneaky2:

Would be interested in where you got that confirmed or is that just your interpretation

[Logjam]

Not just my interpretation, came from discussions with the HSE, long time ago but don't see any reason why it would be different now. Felling over 380mm qualification requires whole tree to felled with intact crown using maximum 380mm guide bar & also includes take down of hung up tree with a winch. If all or part of the crown has already been removed the tree would not be suitable for the assessment. The dismantling qualification might be more relevant for an arb as it is likely that some limbs would have needed to be lowered.

ok so what happens when you have a stem over 380mm that has the crown removed then and you only have your 31 does this mean you cant fell it as you dont have 32??

[Logjam]

IMO CS32 is not required to fell a stem over 380mm if crown has already been removed. No crown, so no need to assess crown weight, balance, wind etc, not the same as felling complete tree.

So what about a stem with a lean? Or the tension and compression in the wood? Whether you're felling an entire tree or a 6 foot stump, it would still need assessing based on the fact you want it to go in a certain direction
