    Hi Craig

    We are doing the same as your approach.

    Our arborists are contractors, so we send a line mechanic or similar to isolate, earth, test, and hold the access permit as the contractor’s staff are not deemed competent to do so (nor is insulated tool work from a bucket a similar risk to our electrical assets as climbing and cutting).
