SUMMARY:TREE Fund Webinar: Loading of a Tie-in Point While Climbing
DESCRIPTION:Loading of a Tie-in Point While Climbing \n\n\n\nTuesday\, February 9\, 2021\, at 12 p.m. Central \n\n\n\nBrian Kane\, PhD\, University of Massachusetts Amherst \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCLICK HERE To Register\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nChoosing an appropriate tie-in point (TIP) is a key to efficiently and safely work in a tree. A TIP that’s high and central in the crown provides maximum mobility for a climber\, but the TIP also has to be strong enough to bear the loads associated with climbing. Until recently\, very few measurements of such loads were taken. Starting with the ITCC in 2017\, Dr. Kane has measured loads at the TIP for a variety of situations including ascents\, descents\, limb walks and swings\, and falls. This presentation will present the findings from those studies. \n\n\n\nISA and SAF continuing education credits are available for watching the entire live webinar. CEU details: \n\n\n\nSAF CEU Cat 2: 1.00 \n\n\n\nISA CEU Category: Practice: 1\, Climber Specialist: 1\, Certified Arborist: 1\, Municipal Specialist: 1\, Aerial Lift: 1 \n\n\n\nThis webinar is co-sponsored by the Alabama Cooperative Extension System
