Thanks gents

Can somebody please link me up with any legalities I need to be aware of with regards to bird nest reports, working near nests etc.

Hello A couple of questions have been highlighted during tonight’s work with regards to aerial rescue; how many aerial rescuers are required per climber? At what proximity must the aerial rescuer be if the ratio is ‘not’ 1:1? Our site tonight had 6 potential climbers, I argued for the 3 man team set up; climber, aerial rescue and ground man. Thank you in advance for your replies. ps the AFAG guidelines where debated with regards to a ‘minimum of 2 people should be present...’ but this did not state how many per climber

Get a few quotes Martin and make a decision, there will be no rip off then. You should however take all matters into account that us Arborist’s need to; travel time to and from site, fuel consumption, tool maintenance, hazard and risk etc etc, it’s not as easy as you might think. Good luck finding the right person to do the job you require.
