38. Working methods to reduce the risk of injury
Tree care at height with rope and riser
General requirements
As a user of this chainsaw for tree care, the one at height with rope and carrying strap, you
should never work alone. A ground worker trained in emergency procedures should be present
to assist you.
They should be trained in general, safe climbing and work positioning techniques and should
be equipped with harness, rope, slings, karabiners and other device to maintain safe and
correct working positions for both themselves and the saw.
Preparing the chainsaw for use
The chainsaw should be inspected, refuelled, started and warmed up by the ground worker
and then switched off before being pulled up to the user in the tree.
The chainsaw should be provided with a suitable sling so that it can be attached to the user's
harness (see picture A.1):
e) the sling is attached to the secure the suspension device (18);
f) suitable karabiners must be provided to allow indirect (i.e. through the sling) and
direct (i.e. on the suspension device (18) of the chainsaw) to allow the saw to be attached
to the user's harness;
g) Ensure that the chainsaw is securely fastened when it is pulled up to the user;
h) make sure that the chainsaw is attached to the carrying strap before disconnecting it
from the lifting rope.
