As far as I know it was insurance issues regarding the carpark, but don't quote me on this as I was called in at the last moment as there usual climber had not turned in, that was my first crane job for about 4yrs so arse hole nipped on the first couple till the confidence came back and then we had a little incident with a butt end on the one in the corner by the old folks home. Clown pants(me) walked so far out on branch to place the chains and then back to put the cuts in by the main stem, swung myself around back of trunk for safety and let the crane take the strain, branch snaps of butt end shot up and came round my side of the tree under the life line and proceded to lift me at great speed back up the tree, when it stopped I casually lifted myself out of the way and proceeded to chain smoke embassy filter showing a brave front whilst sh@#ting bricks to the rear:scared1:.

where do you start by answering this question , all the posts so far are relevant to the industry problems ,a log book signed by your employer or who ever you are subying to would be a start, plus continuos mentoring after the assesments, I know not as easy as said, but at least if say it was treat like the heavy plant driving ticket and there was nothing logged against a relevant dicipline for say over 12months then you would have to apply for a refresher.

looks the dogs that mate, did a similar job at Cleckeaton in Leeds for G & A trees a couple of months ago I will post the vid and pictures when they come through. Just out of interest did you remove any of them as whole trees and if so am I doing it the right way : crane attached into top of tree and tensioned up then step cut at base of tree , ask crane driver to to keep applying slightly more lift until you see which way the trunk is leaning to tehn start to chase the cut around until it will lift free:icon14:
