Question - would you tie in?? for this work

[ QUOTE ]
Cool pic of a jammed saw. I dont think I'd be tied in, in this particular situation. Would probably hinder my work positioning. Great photos. Cant understand why the guy in the first pic doesn't have chainsaw pants/hardhat on? Isn't it cold in Georgia?

The piece he is cutting looks top heavy where the grapple is holding it. He is also inbetween 2 branches not great. I cant see the other side but there should always be an escape route.I would tie in but I also have different equipment. It looks like he is tied to the piece behind him.
 
Just so everyone knows. I was on this job and this guy was tied in during this entire removal. He really didn't have alot of options. We always adhear to all of the ANSI 300 standards during any job we complete. I am just surprised that the person that posted these pictures didn't post the other pictures in the same newspaper where you can clearly see that he is tied in. I guess someone was just trying to be negative and selectively posted these pictures where you can't see his tie in points.

You have to understand this thread was created not to pick apart what you do right and wrong, it was simply stated as an informative for and individual that was curious how others would approach this situation. No one else was there to see the options, each situation is different. I'm sure you did what you thought best at the time.

Looks to me that the one guy is working safe, two hands on the saw, is using his lanyard, and is wearing PPE. No one is attacking you either.

That doesn't sound like an attack at all, sounds more like you guys were called big name companies, isn't that a positive? If I worked for someone and they said "big name company" I'm taking that to be a compliment. Sometimes its just easier for people to point out the things we see that isn't being done. Don't take it negatively cause there are a lot of guys that know a lot and you can learn a lot from on this site. Just take it as constructive criticism. Also feel free to post other pictures for the job, i'm sure they will be welcomed, and then you can show from your perspective.
 
One that takes PPE seriously, the other not so. That he was tied in sometimes is one of the points. There is little point to picking and choosing the moment you tie in. It should be a matter of course that, like donning a hardhat, a worker does tie in.

Looking at that situation and equipment I wonder if there was a way of removing a larger section without getting up on the tree it the first place?
 
Thank you for all the positive feedback, You are right we all need criticism when it comes to safety. The guy in the camo isn't part of this company so I can't speak on that matter. We take tree worker safety very serious and I just felt like we were being looked upon negitively. I really appreciate the comments.

The photos were the only ones on-line the day i pulled them that showed upclose the damage and those working on it. I posted the photos. You are invited to show others, to show the option, I am sure, as others on here know better, when you work storm damage sometimes your options are FEW. WORK SAFE AND STAY SAFE.

for me - REC CLIMBER HERE. All know i am learning and asking lots of questions.

WELCOME to the BUZZ - by the way.

I apoligize if you feel this was a negative post. FOR me IT was very informative and I have learned a few things.

Camo man with the 200T could get around better if he at least had on some spikes and a lanyard.
