Great job

Isnt there security cords that if you cut gives off a extremely high Decibell alarm siren??? Its either that or chain the saws & electrify the tool box with warning signs on,lol. A lad i know pulled up in to a petrol station to fill up,He went in to pay & the cashier said what pump so he told her the shogun" she said what shogun" someone jumped in it & drove off. All his kit was inside & he was just off to run a trainning course. The police found the Shogun on a gypos site but never found the contents & the Insurance company would not pay out as he hadnt locked the doors when he went to pay.

When you use Ascenders you have to have a back up like a 6 wrap prussik. I personally check ascenders & pantins even though they are aids.

You didnt say what type of sling,Was it an endless tape sling? I use 3 Lyonslings for climbing either as false footholds or attaching to branches so i hold the sling while i cut the limb so it dont drop. I also use some as light weight rigging.

I have crown reduced & pruned euc`s very hard over in jersey & they have come back really well,As the other lads say once you carry out work you have to maintain them if not they will get out of control again.

Nor are ascenders but some people still check them,I was given one to inspect while doing my loler course & as you say they arnt PPE they should be checked in my opinion

I use an Art on my main side strop & a distel/vt with pulley on my wirecore flip line.

You have not said if your selling or buying roadside?,looking at the dia the thinnings could be sold for chip/pulp & also depends on the species of the trees as other people may have markets for different produce. A good way to find out is what the pulp/chip mills are paying at roadside & take it from there.

PUWER and LOLER inspection templates?
Ross Turner replied to Rowan the Bruce's topic in Business Management
Why dont you draw some up of your own,I did them for previous companies i have worked for. PUWER:all i put on these was make & model of machine/equipment a check list comprising of all the legal safety features etc,Any faults that you have found & any remedial works required to make fit for purpose. LOLER:Get a copy of your inspections sheets & copy the equipment down oneside & then have tick boxes for the days of the week,When you have used the kit tick which days you used it & if anything is not right make a comment stating what it is & the remedial work required to make fit for purpose at end of week. I hope this is of some help. -
To the best of my knowledge the research for the rigging is going to be published as the ACOP. I was informed of this by the guys at Treevolution when i did my LOLER course.

Pine woods and thinnings
Ross Turner replied to Luke Quenby's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Are the stems straight for saw logs?,as for the other timber you have other possible outlets like 8`2" & 6`2" Bars,Strainer posts,5`6" fence posts, Dunage along with the chip & pulp market. You have not said if you want to motor manual harvest it or use harvesters? -
