Emergency Treework Planning Course. This is now a stand alone theory based unit with no prerequisite. It is aimed at any person who may be involved in the risk assessment and planning of an emergency treework scenario. 'Individual Windblown’ is back and all of the practical elements in Emergency Treework are now covered in other individual units. (i.e. Individual Windblown and Assisted Felling). This practical course will enable candidates to correctly state the regulations and safety requirements relating to chainsaw use and assess the hazards and risks involved. By assessing lying windblown timber, partially windblown and broken timber, the candidate will be able to take a decision on appropriate action and cut the timber using appropriate techniques and control the movement of root plates.
