    for what use?

    That did not sound pleasant Angus. When I worked for a few weeks with Derek Brazel in OZ (Glen Innes area) I learnt alot about bees. He was VERY allergic and we had to plan the route to the nearest hospital for each work site. I also noticed that bees are far more common than here in the UK, where they are seldom an issue on the work site

    It's not a definitive piece of research. However as an indication of generic rope behavior it is relevant

    123 views and only 2 comments............ I guess predicting the percentage strength loss in a rope, when knotted is superfluous knowledge

    So what are your criteria for a "compliant" competent person? I guess i'm old-school. 16 years ish of tree work, 5 years of LOLER inspecting - training however ONLY nptc- with an update recently.

    textiles start to deteriorate from the moment of production. This is accelerated greatly by UV light. Think of how brittle a bit of polyprop becomes when left out to the elements
  15. Pete Mctree
    How ?

    What do you call cheap?

    The facts as I understand them at present are ; Splicing is the modification of a CE marked piece of kit therefore no longer compliant Importation of non CE marked kit makes you a supplier - contrary to the requirement of the use of CE marked PPE I'm not in total agreement with the above, but that is what defines what is "fit for purpose". As is true for any legislation that is so broard reaching, it is predominatly positive in it's outcome, however in some limited but important areas it is obviously limiting
  23. Pete Mctree
    Good discussion. Sad and sorry state of affairs imo. Here is a pic of a factory splice next to a non-factory one. I bet you can tell which is which
