what logo would be acceptable

mmmm...If you are just turning up as a climber to work with / for other company then no way should you be advertising your number etc . I would tell the climber to get his t-shirt off and put something else on.

 

 

Thats correct and true in nearly every example of self employed climbers! But its that control over the climber that defines him as NOT being a sub contractor.

just wear their kit. Its a job site and they are paying the wages. If for any reason its going to restrict you or be a safety hazard then say something, if not just head down and get on with it:001_smile:

anything generic like a 'silky' tshirt should be fine (free from apf/aa shows)

Not aimed at you John, but this is a really good example of why "subbies" are not sub contractors!! If you can't advertise your business because you are "representing theirs" then you are an employee for the day.

 

This ties in with what I have been sayign all along regards insurance etc. You are employees for the day, must be covered by EL. and therefore by PL.

 

Sorry to derail!!

 

Spot on. I have employees, freelance climbers sub contractors and they all work for me on that day.

 

So I give them all NEW teeshirts, depending on time of year sweatshirts, fleese or coat. If they dont look the part they dont work for me.

 

I would never allow them to have own company number or company name on shirts etc. this also applies if they are carrying out work with there own truck and chipper. I also expect them to give my cards or phone number out if they are asked to quote or even look at job while on site. BECAUSE if I had not sent them there they would not get asked.

 

So i would ask them for new stuff as it is good for there company because image is everything these days.

yeah i couldn't see it being the best idea, if your working with there team i dont think you should advertise yourself, and anywork gained from that job must be given to who you are working for. But im guessing you also want to advertise to other companies your freelance services, so letters is the best bet instead of a printed t shirt

Hay I do my own stuff and subbie my truck is sign written and i do have printed tee's and jumpers so if I am expected to carry out sub contract work I do were my shirts and well the stickers dont come off the truck but that said I do occasionaly climb for a guy wo provides every thing ( eccept my personal climbing kit ) so I leave the truck at his yard and dont were my branded clothing no one has yet complained and if you look at most large construction sites all the subbies were there own branded Hi-viz and have sign wrtitten vans

Fully agree. Most of the time co's are happy for me to keep my creature comfots clothing wise, I would def not logo myself when carrying out wrk for other co's.
