Recommended Posts

acts and statutes are NOT laws, they are, and always will be acts and statutes, there have been no new laws since magna carta, and as long as we have a parlimentary system there wont be, there can only be acts of parliment......and as we have been operating under naval law sinc way way back, its all a crock of sh1t anyway......why do you think the acused stands in the dock?

So nobody should be in jail other than murderers and thieves by that assumption?

You sound quite passionate about this Agrimob. I agree with you that some of the H&S is a bit of a hassle and that, on the face of it common sense goes out the window, but as someone mentioned earlier, these are the times in which we live. Beware of this though. The Act (Health and Safety at Work 1974) IS legally binding and to break it is unlawful and can lead to prosecution. The regulations are mandatory and the guidelines or best practice as they are often called are the sort of day to day handbook. You are correct when you say they are not laws, but in the event of an incident or prosecution the court will look to see if industry best practice (as outlined in appropriate codes of practice) has been followed. If it has not and there is not mitigating evidence to support the use of NON best industry practice you may well be summarily rodgered by whichever court you are unfortunate enough to be stood before. We all know the law is an ass but don't let it kick you

What if the rope is being used as fall arrest & work positioning ass opposed to access? We climb. The tree, not the rope in my book

 

I was never trained to climb the tree; I was trained to climb the rope. Nor should you be in a position where fall arrest is required doing tree work using a low stretch rope . The only exception to this I can think of (it its still current) is when you are allowed to go 60cm above your anchor point.
