It offers guidance on understanding and meeting the obligations of the Work at Height Regulation. It aims to provide guidance using Treepartner Training’s interpretation of the WAHR, alongside clarification of the Arboricultural Association’s interpretation of the regulations, as presented in their Technical Guides.

CT2

Introduction to Mechanical Climbing Devices (including stationary and moving rope positioning techniques)

Options include: Rock Exotica Akimbo, Petzl Zig Zag/Chicane, Notch Rope Runner Pro, FTC Freexion and ISC Rope Wrench/Apex

This two-day course covers a range of topics including:

Climbing devices and components overview
Equipment inspection and maintenance
Neighbouring component compatibility and configuration
Systems setup and operation for working in the crown and on vertical stem wood
Basic rescue solutions

CT3

Ascent and Work Positioning Techniques Update

This two-day course provides update training for experienced climbers wishing to improve their existing techniques or seeking an overview of recent developments. It includes stationary and moving rope work positioning techniques.

CT4

Work Positioning and Rescue Techniques on Vertical Stem Wood

This one-day course provides an opportunity to develop work positioning techniques using spikes and rescue techniques on vertical stem wood, with the aim of improving confidence, efficiency and safety on work sites. This course is an ideal update prior to participating in our Tree Dismantling Operations course (A04).

CT5

Introduction to the Maintenance, Set-up and Operation of Lifting & Lowering Devices e.g. GRCS (Good Rigging Control System) and FTC Mini/Micro

This one-day course is intended to give an overview of the maintenance, set up and operation of lifting and lowering devices e.g. GRCS (Good Rigging Control System) and FTC Mini & Micro. It covers the planning and managing of lifting operations and provides an overview of anticipated forces experienced during rigging operations. It is an ideal course for individuals considering purchasing a device, or teams wishing to improve control and safety during dismantling operations.

CT6

Rigging Forces

This two-day course will introduce the use of the LINEGRIP Linescale-3 Dynamometer. It will provide operator feedback for estimating the weight of sections and the forces anticipated in a range of rigging scenarios. Establishing ‘worst case’ scenario peak forces is an important factor when selecting rigging components capable of accommodating these forces whilst maintaining sufficient safety margins.

Day One: Classroom based
Day Two: On site practical rigging (vertical stem wood)

CT7

Portable Industrial Power Winch

This one-day course will cover a range of topics including:

Legislation
Risk Assessment including site zonation, planning and communication
Winch and components overview
System design, neighbouring component compatibility
Set up and operation of a power winch for moving timber

Following successful completion of any Continuation Training Course, a Treepartner Training Record of Training and Achievement (certificate) will be issued.
