What skillset makes for a good Groundie?

The simple answer is to look at your policy, it is in English!

I'm sure you wouldn't be surprised how many folk are out there thinking they are insured but aren't.

[Mick Dempsey]

True.

[Spooner]

I'm sure there is!!

I suppose I wanted to know that with the employees liability would that still cover a groundie that has no formal qualifications i.e chainsaw and chipper tickets?

I have a lad who wants to help and is not currently in work but doesn't have the money to do any of his tickets just now.

I would love to help him out but I also don't want for him not to be covered by my policy if he was ever to have an accident.

This is my first policy as self employed and I know I am covered for any such occasion as is my usual subbie who is a fully qualified climber who can rescue me.

Maybe I will go through the policy with a fine tooth comb but I couldn't see anything concrete in it.

No ticket= uninsured

Really ?

Surely no tickets means no using machinery, he can still work as a laborer?

I have read on here (somewhere) that if it could be shown that he had received adequate training, ie been shown by an experienced operator, and paperwork was in place ( a log of what was shown, date and his signature etc. it was ok.
