I still think this is Horseshit and just because some guy on a HS day told you it was on the cards doesn’t mean you are able to predict the future and state this is fact, your entitled to believe what you want but show me some written info from HSE, for one, I don’t think there are enough portaloos in the country to supply every working forestry site, and who is going to police this?

I already have water in my truck, the truck is clean and I eat my lunch in it, I generally shit before work and take a piss as need be, I don’t require hot and cold running water and a flushable loo and won’t be walking off any cutting site in the future because of the lack of it.

I am also old enough to remember cutting with no tickets and minimal PPE, some things have changed for the better, things change, fact, and all change is not progression, but me and one cutter doing a four day job having to supply ourselves a welfare station isn’t going to happen and no one is going to stop the job, but as you put it ‘it is coming and we will have to follow suit’ over the top you go then son, I won’t be following you.

WHO said i was doing it ?  because it was not me, and i am not predicting the future to either you or myself or any one else , just because some guy on a HS day mentions something does not mean i will be doing it , i will probably be the last to do it and as drinksloe said there are some stupid rules about and some one some where will be thinking up even  more stupider rules and i aint going over the top son but ignorance is bliss

YOU wrote this, you wrote it in the first person so the ‘We’ means YOU.

YOU are saying that YOU will follow suit.

If your not, that makes two of us then.

A book on basic grammar would be more useful.

NO its not horseshit, its coming and we will have to follow suit, and if you read the post i quoted ? yes its got nothing to do with refresher courses but you might find its got a lot to do with how things have and are changing all the time, when some of us started there was no such thing as chainsaw tickets and very little PPE the younger generations have PPE , HSE drummed in to them but in these days common sense is becoming more and more scarce,

 

Couple of thoughts.  Construction tends to be static.  Its much easier , and more reasonable to provide facilities on a site where folk are going to be based for quite a while.

And, Health Safety and Welfare requirements tend to have a wonderful clause added into them which says, "as far as reasonably practicable". 

I will be seeing one of our friendly HSE inspectors in a week or so, and I will see what he knows about it.... if anything.
