If you tolerate it, is it really the feckless employee's fault?

 

Shut it down on day one, and draw the line.

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.

That's what I understood .

As to in house training, we issue certificates for our guys, an with 600+ employees I would think our corporate insurance ain't compromised, client is happy with it- make sure you match up with what NPTC n Lantra want an realy you cannot be at fault. K

My understanding is that satisfies the requirements of HSaW 1974 with the exception of use of chainsaws as PUWER requires a nationally recognised certification.

 

I actually never got hedgecutter, chipper or bruschcutter/strimmer qualifications  and that did restrict me to some extent on civils jobs.
