Stationary Rope Work Positioning (SRWP) Research Project

[Ian Flatters]

I think it's a good idea Ben, noddy.

 

Just seems to be far too much of people trying to change things though.

 

For example.

 

Srt - single rope technique or is it now stationary rope technique?

 

Srtwp - single rope work positioning (as stated in some of the first more recent articles) or static rope technique work positioning?

 

Just seems to me that people keep changing the lingo to make people think they've come up with something new. So a definitive guide would be good, although I doubt me or Dan Curtis will get any credit for why we did in the past. But Craig Johnson should be mentioned for his first retrievable srt redirect.

 

Kind regards

I think paolo should get a mention.

I still can't find the link to this survey.

Hi,

 

The IRATA systems are fully recognised by HSE and are time proven. Might be worth exploring that route as a possibility.

 

The Lyon Equipment/Petzl guys are very switched on with that type of equipment and systems, they're very highly recommended.

 

Hope that helps.

 

Regards,

But irata will say we work

With two lines this is what tree srt should be doing , but that isn't going to work out for tree work so where does that leave us ???

Old mill, the link isn't currently available.. we wanted to spark some conversation.. more details to come

 

Re; two lines I personally love it when its useful, but doing everything on two lines could be awkward..

Possibly could if it's a redundant with a back up on. Much in the same way you would have to feed your main line. But there are a few implications in my head with it, excess rope to get caught. Where in relation to you main anchor should it be, same stem or an independent stem. What type device should be used and should you be in a full fall arrest harness compared to a tree surgery harness.

 

I mean until the other devices get ce approval it's quite a small field for srt devices for tree work.

[johnanderton]

imagine all that rope hanging around along with rigging lines etc , can't wait ) ,as things are going I might be retired before we get any ce approved systems !!

Hey Ian

Just wondering what it is you feel that people are trying to change?

 

Thanks

Not change, poor choice of words on my behalf. I'm saying it would be good to have a definitive guide which is long overdue in the uk I think

 

It seems there's so many abbreviations for the same set of wording is what I mean. Srtwp was my example. I'm all for it so don't think my comments werent intended to be taken as negative I was just being curious.
