Something for employers to think about HAVS
stihlmadasever replied to openspaceman's topic in Business Management
Working for my local authority im well aware of havs and we monitor our daily exposure time.Our limits are 325 per day,which deems our pole saw unusable as it registers 130 per 15 minutes of use. It has made our council look to using battery pole pruners and perhaps even some battery top handled saws. Progress -
I cant offer any help unfortunatly but just to commend you on taking a big step in changing careers. I did the same thing and i look at it as the day my life changed for the better and improved my outlook in life. You will gain more confidence in using the chainsaw as you use it daily.Passing the course was a big thing for you but remember its only a certificate of competancey,its not till your using these types of tools everyday that you learn how to use them properly. Qualifications are not the end all be all,what i mean by that is myself,and many other deem certain traits in a co worker too be more important.Personally id rather have someone who is keen,punctual and has a great work ethic than someone straight out of college who thinks theyre Reg Coates cause they have qualifications and climbed 3 trees. If possible get your trailer licence and chipper ticket as these will make you more employable as a groundie. Im sure you will be presented with an opertunity and you'll excell. Good luck mate

Yeah ive seen the adjustable bridge on augusts harness,its a petzl micro grab if i remember rightly. I climb on a TM but adding a rope grab isnt something ive considered,ive just shortened my bridge for better choggin down positioning.I like the idea though..

Thanks Richard and yeah it was mutual adoration.

I use the stihl ht 101 polesaw and its been a decent servant,ours is 2 stroke mix.Ive bent the shaft a while back so it doesnt extend right out to the maximum. I will say this-the hand and arm vibrations on them are very high so watch your exposure time using them
