where would you stand on something like this, if someone got injured when they ignored all your signs? IME you are covering your back, but without some sort of banksman in this situation and having people walking through a worksite and on the unlikely event someone gets injured, how would you deal with it?

The council had put up the signs and barriers and I was told I could leave timber on the road over night.

 

When I arrived and found the car, I called the police and they came out. I did not want any come back later.

You've done everything you can then.

 

In this claim culture you'd expect the person to claim for leaving a pile of wood in the road!

The person driving that vehicle would not be able to claim as he ignored the signs. Drunken man?

 

Regarding signs and people walking the hounds we do not use hazard tape but strong orange rope which is tight and between waist and shoulder heights. It works well with mountain cyclists that think hazard tape is a race finish tape. We also have large signs that state:- STOP. DANGER TREE WORK. YOU COULD BE KILLED IF GOING PAST THIS NOTICE.

 

The worst scare I had was cutting a large stem on the ground with a 20" chain and as I was leaning forward watching the tip to avoid going into the ground a Collie appeared from nowhere within inches of the turning chain.

 

I stopped and had a word with the foolish dog owners. Children should be taught about rural life in school to make sensible adults.

I had a bloke (poor excuse for one anyway) trying to stop a job, crane on a road,barriers etc,kept escorting him off site and back he kept coming,his wife and he were getting threatening,his wife for some reason decided to phone the old bill,they came they saw,they too got threatened by the worm spined male.

They made a hard arrest,loaded him up,and the top cop on the scene gave me his number and invited me to phone him when the job was done and only then would they release this man from the cells.

We didn't bust our guts getting it done too quick.

Funny bit was when the 2 WPC's & this desk seargent did the arrest they all ended up in a nearby bush,all you could see was four sets of legs thrashing about.When they had got the cuffs on they reapeared and tried to pull the arrested man from out the foilage,he screamed on each pull.

They had succeeded to cuff him behind his back,but round the base of bush and were nearly dislocating his shoulders trying to pull him out!what fun!
