Hand-Arm Vibration – Shock Truth!

[combined tree services]

we will be cuting the main stem into 9 inch rings because they will weigh roughly one ton at that size lol whilst in the tre i aim to cut it as big as the crane driver will lift , but with the lack of access for him i boubt it will be that much

Dean if you clap your hands and it fells weird youve been in this game too long LOL.

HAVS is an awful affliction, and I think we all would take any reasonable precautions to avoid getting it.

 

Do HSE not recognise that many people affected were using saws a long time ago, when vibration was really fierce?

 

If you get the chance, fire up a saw from the seventies and see what it feels like.

 

Don't use it for long though!

 

If I did nothing but ring up butts all day I'd be worried. I don't. So I'm not.

How will you be attaching these 9" rings to the crane?

I was getting a numb hand at the end of the day but it wasn't HAVS. It was an imbalance in muscle groups in my neck and upper back, pinching a nerve...2 months physio, loads of exercising...right as rain again.

 

Thank goodness we have almost NO rules here...except when the landscrapers pinch my tree jobs and butcher the cr@p out of them...wish we had some regulations then...wait, I hear it coming like a train in the distance...licensing IS on the way!

 

I really do pity you all...HSE, EU, on and on and on, we are going to get to set our own rules...I'll be sure to stay away from too much cr@p!
