Congratulations to both James Dorrington and John Straka for adding the City & Guilds NPTC Level 3 Aerial Tree Rigging course to their existing Level 3 Tree climbing/ aerial rescue. The three day course completed at BCA will allow the JSA arborist team to carry out a greater scope of tree works in a safe and controlled manner. This standard covers the use of rigging for the removal of small tree sections in relation to pruning operations where targets below may pose a significant risk through to the removal of part/whole trees where targets do not allow for free-fall/hand thrown techniques. The work conforms to all current legislation and codes of practice.
