Arborcom Bluetooth Headset – Stein Helmet - Pics.
Xerxses replied to John Hancock's topic in Climbers talk
Cheers for the feedback. The ivestigation isnt as hard as it may have been given impression of.. The lady got away with a fright and was told that we now would have to perform a risk evaluation and do a lot of paperwork due to her stupidity.... We have a system of reporting incidents, accidents and riskobservations these are all logged in a computersystem and have to go through the "H&S Commity" So basically todays meeting was just an interview and to fill out some forms where a part is to try to find solutions how to avoid similar situation in future. I think its a good way of improving safety and highlight safety issues or bad practise. My collegue brought up the idea of improving communication to adress potential risks (kids, retards, dogs, cats etc that sort of have legit reason to ignore gates...) So any issues with the headsets that you see as a problem? Crisp sound at all times? How far do they work? How are they for climbing? -

Any updates on the subject? Are they the mutts nutts? Or are there a better option that I'm not aware of? How do they compare to Peltors? The issue was brought up on a H&S meeting today as we had a near miss (hit...) accident yesterday as I was lumping down a tree on a closed off pedestrian walkway... a lady climbed a snowpile to get access to our site and was wondering why we had closed down the road... and why we didnt clear the road from brash so she could pass... BACAUSE ITS DANGEROUS BEEING HERE!!!! HENCE THE GATES, CONES SIGNS AND POSTERS TELLING YOU WHY ITS CLOSED!!!! So the question was asked if there was a better way of comunicating than screaming on top of our voices (as my groundie had to do to get my attention, as I had my eyes on the two groundies managing traffic while I dropped logs onto the side of the street....) I said I would look into this... so whats the deal? Are they good for climbing, any improvements? Have previous issues been solved? -

Add a remote controlled gun turret with a paintball weapon and ask Steve to stick it up instead of the dailygame and let the procedings go towards The Childrens Trust.... Now that would be some fun charitywork... a pound a bullet?

As far as I'm aware the techniques are the important thing, not sure about the exact measurement of the trees for the unit. Don't think it's focused on diameter. Next unit is advanced felling...stormfelled trees, leaning include felling aids and multiple hangups.

Stihl 3636 if I remember correctly as for your other bar info...I haven't the faintest!

My intention was never to patronise... I didnt tell my full experience because I want/wanted the discussion and as much input as possible. Your points are still valuable AND will be taken into account before I make my mind up!
