About

Often when carrying out works on trees free fall techniques are not suitable, this is where aerial rigging comes into play.

This advanced Aerial technique allows the safe and controlled removal of sections of tree, and can be specially useful in the urban environment due to the high likelihood of buildings and other infrastructure being in the drop zone.

This is a hands-on course that delivers both practical skills and health and safety guidance as well as demonstrating that you and your employer have completed sufficient training to meet the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER).

We also use high-quality course materials to accurately reflect current safe working practices.

 

The finer details

Our course is a balanced mix of theory and practice.

You'll be guided through all the relevant health and safety guidelines to ensure you stay protected on the job.

After a look at pre-work preparation, you'll then move on to the hands-on aspect of the course.

All the appropriate techniques will be taught, from equipment inspection prior to carrying out work to disposal of the waste afterwards.

Worth noting: This a physically demanding course, so you'll need at least a minimum level of fitness.
