Arboriculture Dismantling Techniques
Arboriculture dismantling techniques (NPTC unit 309) was formerly the CS41 training course from H&W Training. This unit will explain how to properly evaluate trees for hazards, as well as performing an assessment of working at height. This will then help to identify the correct selection of rigging equipment to be used and the safe removal of tree sections using the suitable rigging and appropriate cuts.
