				contact must be firmly in place on a secure surface before moving to another
				point.
NOTE 1:
Each hand and foot (or climbing spur) is
				  considered a potential point of contact.
NOTE 2:
Other parts of the body, such as a
				  hooked knee or armpit, may be considered contact points if the body part is
				  physically capable of supporting the full body weight.
NOTE 3:
A lanyard around the tree bole or
				  appropriate limb that is secured to the safety harness or climbing belt on both
				  ends counts as two points of contact.
(3) Do not use unsound branches or stubs for
				support.
(4) Climbing without being
				secured to the tree is not allowed except in conifers when, in the judgment of
				the qualified climber, the density of branches growing from the stem would
				require so many limb-overs, attaching and reattaching the lanyard, as to become
				a greater hazard than simply climbing that section of the tree.
(5) Climbing in conifers without being
				secured is not allowed above the 4-inch bole diameter.

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) It is the
			 policy of the Board to expedite claim adjudication and amicably dispose of
			 controversies, while providing for access to adequate representation for
			 injured workers. In accordance with ORS 656.012(3), these rules shall be
			 interpreted in an impartial and balanced manner. The overriding principle is
			 substantial justice.
(2) With
			 respect to postponement or continuance of hearings under OAR 438-006-0081  and
			 438-006-0091, substantial justice requires consideration of the relative
			 financial hardship of the parties.
(3) The unrepresented party shall not be held
			 strictly accountable for failure to comply with these rules. Any individual who
			 undertakes to represent a party in proceedings under these rules shall be
			 required to comply with these rules.
(4) It is the policy of the Board to promote
			 the full and complete disclosure of a party's specific position concerning the
			 issues raised and relief requested in a specification of issues under OAR
			 438-006-0031  and in a response under 438-006-0036. However, it is not the
			 intent of this policy to create binding admissions on behalf of any party, but
			 to clarify the scope of the matters to be litigated.
(5) The Board recognizes the complexity of
			 disputed claims and the time limitations concerning the scheduling and
			 litigation process for such claims. Consistent with this recognition, as
			 factual, medical, and legal aspects of disputed issues evolve, the amendment of
			 issues, relief requested, theories, and defenses may be allowed as prescribed
			 in OAR 438-006-0031(2)  and 438-006-0036(2).
