sorry David:blushing: Was a odd way of reminding myself & pushing the message to the BIG boss types out their that we are all people & have mums & dads who care about their arb type off spring no matter how many £ the job that was baddly quoted goes.

 

I as you know became a number in the chainsaw twit hit list 2009 & have no intention of doing so again..

 

As I have posted befor, keep your pants tight & your head strong! I

It only takes that one mistake to make your whole world & those around you go proper wrong! an extra 15 min on a job can make a whole lot of differance..

So, assuming we've all not forgotten to get our loved ones the card on their special day they obviously merit........here's a little light reminder of the dangerous game we all enter into on a daily basis.

 

"Sadly, HSE are currently investigating a number of fatalities. Since the beginning of 2010, four people have been killed while involved in treework, three of these since the beginning of April. Two incidents were related to work in forestry and involved felling operations and two occurred in arboriculture and involved falls from trees. These are very sobering statistics. Details of previous fatal accidents and their causes are available at Tree Work ? Case studies . "

So did the earlier post with the facts on come from 2009 and not include 2010?

 

I was suprrised that the fattalities were so low I thought it would be at least a hundred or so. But once again as someone said how many get reported.

 

I also think that the construction industry is more tightly regulated there jobs go over months and month ( in some case) so have big bosses who do big site meetings you do it by the book or your out but who does arb have to regulate it? Ocassionally in big jobs a boss or health and safftey manager might turn up but I doubt it not in arb.

 

Still Its a very good thread thanks for posting something to definatley think oabout tommorow.

Interesting but sad stuff to read.

 

Although it does seem your more likely to be killed if your older than 50:confused1:

 

Seems that experience and being in the game for years doesnt seem to matter.

I'll bear that in mind
