  2. Pete Mctree
    I think that on this issue that you are incorrect. The precident you are setting, through your inspecting of such items, could have strong legal ramifications if a worse case scenario was to ccour, for yourself and perhaps others.

    on short timber lengths, close to the ground yes. But in the usual rigging scenarios irrelevant

    As long as it is attached below the center of gravity what does it matter?

    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
