Poor tree work in conservation area

[IVECOKID]

But is it ok for me to care and want to do something about it? I suppose I was hoping for a unanimous decision but it seems a mixed camp, of which I don't quite understand.

 

You cant win Starscream on here , you care and that all that matters , imagine you posted a pic in Todays job thread of yourself reducing a tree with spikes .....you would of got slaughtered.

Don't talk so much I can smell the garlic from here.. Of course you are not single handedly responsible, it's a collective conscience of plonkers with a laissez-faire attitude. Was just gonna make a quick phone call and see if they wanted to do anything about it.

 

 

I think you should definitely. And I admire you for doing so. It's shoddy Treeworks full stop.

What PPE would the guy need if using a pole saw?

 

A helmet?? He was dropping bits on his head

And work in a conservation area should be carried out in accordance with BS3998. And nowhere in there will it say that reductions can be carried out on spikes. It's in all our interests to maintain respectability and trust in our industry to stamp out cowboyish Arb work

 

 

Sean, when was the last time you saw a tree killed as a result of someone spiking it when pruning?

Why did he need a helmet?

Why did he need a helmet?

 

He was 20ft in the sky wielding a polesaw. Everyone needed a helmet

Come on, we know it will not kill it but it's not going to do it any good either. I'm gobsmacked that so many people find this to be acceptable.

 

Spiking a tree to do a reduction is not on.

What if you rub mud into the spike marks afterwards?

 

I don't always do it, but if I'm in a CA it's standard. Don't want anyone thinking I'm a rogue.

No body said it was acceptable, we're just not ranting on about it like it's the worst think ever to happen!

 

It's poor work end of, neither me or my 2 guys will work like that but it happens and getting wound up about it won't do any good.
