Its a shame the industry places such importance in completion of courses rather than actual ability.

Know a few guys with no tickets but great with chainsaws...

changed, its changing every month, just been on a HS day welfare is now coming in to forestry dont know about arb as you would not be far from faciliteys, or in other words working in forestry, we will have to supply employes and sub contractors with hot & cold running water, clean place to eat,and a thunderbox (mobile toilet that you see on events) if the job is more than 3 days ? so if your site base is 800 yds up a 45 degree banking by the time you get to the thunderbox you would proberbly be looking for clean under wear ? several years ago me and another lad had a disgussion about this and we both said that one day you would have to have a NPTC ticket to have a shit in the woods, WELL BY THE LOOK OF THINGS ITS ON ITS WAY, dont know who would want to ascess this but some one will for £350 a day.

What a load of horseshit, HSE making compulsory requirements for hot and cold water and toilets, no one in the history of Forestry has ever stated that a toilet is required on any job lasting more than three days and what has this got to do with refresher training?

Squaddies have been provided with them for quite a while now, I wonder how real life training it is.
