Note my caveat 'if you want to stay legit'.

 

Here at DILIGAF Tree Services that's not really how we roll....

Shouldn't that be a double "L"?

Pedant!

 

Guilty as charged Joe, but I'm owner operator.

Anyone climbing for me, however, will have minimum CS38 qualified climber on standby.

Unfortunately that's me, so they will undoubtedly bleed to death if they even skin their knuckles before I get to them.

It's the same nationwide, and it's all academic. It's as if having a bloke who did four days training on site is a "get out of jail free" card.

 

My harness first aid kit contains a roll up and a dirty magazine. If I have to use it, I want to make it count.

Is the fight over? Did I come too late?

Thanks for the helpful comments and the 'lively' debate, has given me much food for thought! Interesting to see that a £750 kit budget is considered both a bit over the top and hopelessly optimistic by different people. I'd just want a simple and safe setup, it wouldn't be worth spending hundreds extra for kit to make jobs and moving about in the tree quicker as it won't be all that regular.

 

Having a look at how much some of the shiny toys like mechanical prussiks go for it's easy to see how you could blow that budget out of the water though, at up to two hundred notes each.

Well you can do it on the cheap and where an experienced climber should be able to get on with whatever kit he gets handed, as a beginner you would benefit from kit you were most comfortable with and particularly, some mentoring.

 

The budget buster is the fact that to stay legal you need more kit and trained people, your employer has a legal obligation that applies to employees and subbies alike. As long as nothing goes wrong all will be well but when the wheels come off the HSE are going to be all over it and they powers that be will run prosecutions against any and all they see fit.
