  12. Hi People, I hope everyone is keeping well. I have recently had a couple members of staff leave to go abroad for work and as always this time of year work is busy. So I'm looking for a few extra staff. We are looking to get climbers and ground staff onboard and are currently looking for staff for all days of the week but certainly need extra people on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Woodstock Tree Services Ltd is a small family run business with 8 staff on and we generally have a couple of teams out daily. Works include all the generic tree and hedge bits and is a 50/50 mix of commercial and domestic work. We are a polite, friendly company and expect the same from our staff. We are looking for reliable, friendly and enthusiastic ground staff who are willing to get stuck in and are happy with no experience provided they have the right attitude towards work. We are happy to train the right candidates up in the industry. With climbers we are looking for experienced climbers but will happily work with less experienced climbers with the correct work ethic and qualifications. The only thing we ask is that people are honest about their skill set as this helps us understand what sort of tasks you are equip for. We are also looking for climbers with a foreman role in place to help manages sites and keep jobs running smoothly. Currently we are looking to have an additional 3/4 staff to join our team Our yard is based in Rangeworthy in Bristol and the yard is slightly difficult to get to by public transport so transport is essential. Work hours are 7:30am - 4pm the work will be on a freelance basis but we are looking to employ the right staff over time. If anyone is looking for any of these roles or you guys know anyone who is or is moving to the area let me know. Contact is Eric on: 07725 951006 or Email [email protected] Ive included the job add below but it might not work due to my lack of technical abilities Current Opportunities.pdf

  13. That’s looking good. PS I wouldn’t want to load that toolbox up with tools, it would way a ton😀
  14. thanks guys, to add to the weirdness they only need 1 million PL it turns out. Not sure what companies are going to offer tree work PL for that much. New to the self employed thing so glad I checked, gone back to them to clarify why exactly.
  15. The advice above is sound — manufacturer SDS sheets are the starting point and the HSE COSHH e-tool is useful for understanding exposure and control measures. Where people often get caught out later on is keeping everything joined up. It’s not just about having individual COSHH assessments, but also a clear substance register and making sure what’s on paper actually reflects what’s being used on site. On commercial or principal contractor jobs, they’ll usually want to see COSHH and PUWER managed alongside RAMS, with evidence it’s reviewed and applied rather than just filed away.
  16. I agree with a lot of the above. RAMS stands for risk assessment and method statement. I generally incorporate theses into the Construction Phase Plan (CPP) - not sure if that applies to arb but it's a good blanket document to cover the plan for larger jobs including information on site access maps, emergency services access point, work schedule etc etc. Method statement can be as simple as a list of bullet points of what you're going to do and in what order. Assess the risk of each step/ tasks of above. It might be a good idea to break risk down into severity and likelihood of incident, and score 1-3 for each. Multiply severity by likelihood to get a risk score. Score 1-3 is low risk, 4-6 is medium and 7-9 is high risk. If any stage of you method statement is high risk then you need to change the method statement accordingly. You should try to introduce different methods for medium risk where practicable. I have a list of tasks specific risk assessments, i.e. tree felling or loading plant onto a trailer. I refer to these in the Construction Phase Plan but don't include the whole risk assessment. I never really have to modify them. Then for each new job/site I'll do a risk assessment that is specific to that site, and include that in the CPP. Hope that helps
  17. Correct, we buy them as a set of 4. Plenty of shops on eBay. We used the original rims and seemed fine width wise.
  18. It burns ok , leaves a lot of fine floaty ash so open the door carefully . Cut and split and put under cover now with air flow you could burn it next winter .

  20. Almost as if something like a twig or chest ascender biner could get stuck in it and cause an uncontrolled descent?
  21. Advertising and getting your name out there. I did not grow up where I live so do not have a network of contacts to start with so has taken a long time to establish myself. Cashflow is a problem for any small business. It still is for me now, very volatile income, I also farm which doesn't provide regular income, does however provide one thing you can rely on.. bills, endless
  22. Please dont do that. Coils put out high voltage at reasonable currents. The HT wire should just pull out of the coil and the plug cap. Get a new length of wire and rotate as you insert it. Plug caps can be a bit of a pain - squeze the rubber until the metal pin is roughly in the centre then jam it in whilst rotating.
  23. Time Left: 5 days and 8 hours

  24. Well funnily enough I met with both Tom and Jerry today at thier Scottish site. I was getting training and accretted. Was a great day and learned how to properly use the Mill plus Tom did a cracking job of dialing the Mill in properly.
