Totally agree!!!! I wish subie climber would stop helping them by doing there climbing:thumbsdown: We have one near me who works for BT and has a brand new trany and chipper,and he gets subies in for the climbing:cussing:

I don't seem to recall much "rescuing",more a kind of lynching:wave: At least I had the bottle to try something new:star:

If it your firm and your the climber you are OK, I asked the HSE at the last APF, you have a "duty of care" to employees, so if you have a climber working for you and no climbing groundie you will prosecuted. When I do work for LA's I get in a subie climber as my rescue man,as its part of there HS policy. I am in noway suggesting it is a good idea to climb without an areal rescue man.

I always find this a strange attitude,tax is only a percentage,so if you can make £100 you get to keep £80,dependent on the tax applied,so if I can make profit I will!!!!:wave:

IMO,you are spot on conker!!!! I did just as you have,I had 3 sometimes 4 staff, had to pay for extra advertising to get enough work,extra gear to buy and maintain.I spent much of my time looking at work and doing paper work:thumbsdown:I had to price work to make sure I got it,as I needed the work. I cut back to one full time groundie and a extra man as and when needed,I now have less hassle,more money,I can price work to make good money,not just to pay lads wages,spend more of my time climbing trees:icon14:best move I ever made:wave:

Totally agree!!!!!!!!

Bet the wife thought that was great!!!

I wouldn't dare,if you put chip on a wood burner it can crust over,the chip can gasify and when a spark makes its way though the crust,boom!!! When I was a boy my dad had a workshop stove he used to burn saw dust on,but he would put a short length of scaffold tube in the center and pack the saw dust round it,then slowly remove the tube to stop it crusting over so it burned under and above:icon14:

Ed,I they no longer make them I bought mine S/H about 5 years ago for £800. I intend to change mine for a wood chip boiler within the next 5 or so years.

I think it is easy to confuse something that is scary with something that is dangerous,dangling from a 3 ton rope 80 feet up may be scary,but ,IMO, it is not dangerous.And vice versa,IE, doing 80 mph on the motorway surrounded by other cars may not be scary,but is ,IMO, is dangerous. Obviously when you start to add a chainsaw to the situation there is clearly some real danger and the potential for serious injury. IMO you need to be careful you do not allow the natural fear that we all have, to make our work more dangerous,if you don't go high enough or out far enough (out of fear) and cut of large pieces this is far more dangerous than going higher or further out and cutting smaller pieces. I'm not a fan of the "my job so dangerous and I am so macho cause I can do it "attitude I think it encourages the wrong kind of people in to the industry and causes accidents. This is only my personal opinion take it or leave it :wave:
