Backup system
A Work Positioning system shall only be used if:
a) The system includes a suitable backup system for preventing or arresting a fall (and the user
is connected to it). A second structural anchor point is required especially during cutting opera-
tions; or
b) Where it is not reasonably practicable to comply with a), all practicable measures are taken to
ensure that the Work Positioning system does not fail.
The Hitch Climbers Guide to the Canopy, page 6 (www.teufelberger.com/en/products/treecare
or www.treemagineers.com) shows some ways of incorporating a backup with the Hitch Climber
System. Many other permutations are possible.
