A work platform/cherry picker.... if some ones gunna let a hedge grow to 5 metres they should be paying for you to work safely
thats right admin
i had a mate fell from a step ladder - his feet were about 4-5 feet up it, broke both his ankles, still cant walk right.
if youre not comfortable working at heights, just dont do it.
if you cant do it safely, just dont do it.
your life and health is worth more.
about 3 years ago i fell about 2m,broke a couple of ribs and fractured an ankle and had to take a week off work so as admin and happy have said you don't have to fall far to get hurt or kill yourself so take care
Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you
So guys.... Whats the best form of ladder or platform OH&S wise?

I have a 'workall' Platform Ladder from Trade tools. They sell a practically identical gorilla product for twice the money. your feet are at 1.8 Metres and there is a guard rail another 900 mm above that. So my head is at 3.4 metres. I can cut horizontally at a maximum of three metres. If its over that I offer to do the sides only or they can find someone else.
I have always felt as safe as houses on this ladder until it went over sideways on a soft garden bed last week. Time slowed down.." which direction should I chuck the new hedger so it doesn,'t cut my arm off or break? is anyone watching? I feel so stupid Geez.. I hope I start breathing again"
Luckily I fell sideways so didn't break an arm.. and fell with my head on a sleeper so it didn't damage anything(joke). Had my chainsaw helmet on thank goodness.
Its made my rethink the whole business. Being really careful with ladder placement takes time, weighting with sandbags etc. Think I'm already charging as much as the market will stand.
