Z-133

[John Paul Sanborn]

What paragraph in the Z133 has the specifications for "arborist rope"?

in the new revision draft (I just got a copy in the mail)

8.7.4 says that it must be ID'd by the OEM as suitible for tree work.

8.7.5 states that aid ropes need to meet MBS for "Arborist rope"

I'm wondering if ther is an omission here or revision confusion.

JPS,
It is in the definitions chapter. Paragraph 3.5 of Z-133.1-2000

Oh well, they've really redone this. 3.5 is lifting

Dan, did you get the Z? A couple people e-mailed me claiming to be you, and I want to make sure the right person got it.

I would like to say,that, recently I have had to obtain literature to study for a master arborist license.It cost me over $400.00 to obtain just the absolute minimum needed to learn all of the standards and to practice them accordingly.And as has been stated , "you need to read the standards in order to know them:.I myself as a contientuos tree worker, do try to follow the standards, It makes the job easier, and ultimately more fun to complete.I also believe that if you truly do like the type of work required in the tree business,that acting in a Professional manner raises ones sense of self esteem.
