tree surgery in the future

[skyhuck]

but we are in the european laws we cant hide for that sadly

 

Do we need to have been to university to run a company??

 

NO!!, you do in Germany.

Unless you only plant trees with full vehicular and equipment access climbing will nver die off.

 

It is impossible to have access to every tree to use other methods than climbing.Infact there's very few trees a mewp can be used on and to me the more mewps are used the more accident there will be and the more HSE will realise their mistake.

 

We were working roadside last week and a double decker bus came ploughing through without slowing and wiped out every cone we had out, he didn't even stop (good job he didn't because I was blue with rage). That could have been a mewp leg he hit..

 

 

...and let face it, climbing is safe, why would they want to ban it :confused1:

I really can't see i way of takig some trees down ..other than climbing them. unless there build a super helicopter than can take full trees at a time.?!

 

Acess is usually the problem ..and climbing trees is and always will be the way to work on most trees.

Correct!!!!

 

All methods are open to human error, so accidents do and will always happen.

 

But that does not make it unsafe.

 

It really annoys me when some on here go on about how dangerous our job is, RUBBISH!!!!, the most dangerous thing I do each day is drive to and from site.

Totally agree. We are all trained, and if we stick to our training and obey good practices then there is minimal risk. I dont think i know anyone who has done an aerial rescue, except for my mate who is an instructor and had a pupil 'freeze' up a tree.

Of course the job is dangerous! Or none of us would have had accidents.

i dont know of any tree police, who is to stop me right now going outside, free climb the nearest tree and hack off some branches with a saw. no one.

[Mesterh]

So do you think there is no danger whatsoever in tree work?

Or anything else for that matter?

 

 

Some of us don't.

Never had any accidents whatsoever while working? or came close?

 

Depends what you have in the garden
