Cs40-41. ?????? Insured ??

[treequip]

Trust asked me about competencies a couple of years ago.

 

This thread seems to associate competencies with insurance which is a bit of a tangent unless they make them a condition of insurance or offer a discount for holding the qualification.

 

The chainsaw competencies are more the remit of the HSE, there is no legal requirement for competencies but the weight (read threat of prosecution) that the HSE carries makes them mandatory.

[ecolojim]

the fact remains that the HSE requires recorded competencies, and yet still continues not to require a 'certificate of competence' from a recognised issuing board or body.

 

competencies therefore could be recognised 'tickets', in house training, or observed competency by a 'more senior' or highly trained person. I think they are merely requiring that competency to be recorded and vouched for?

[Mark Cattell]

Having a CS unit dosn't prove competence.

 

Competence comes with training AND experiance.

 

If your insurance company ask what units you have, and you lie, you may give the company an excuse to wiggle out if there ever is a claim.

 

Personally, I think your insurance should get cheaper with each unit you hold.

 

I think you will find that The CS units are assessements of competence...

and would be a good defense if a legal issue or compensation claim was put against you,

Totally agree that theres a few indiviuals that are totally incompetent and hold CS tickets...

 

That says more about the inconssistent assessors that exist within NPTC,

I'm with trust,

I have my tickets, the usual ones,

I don't have a chipper ticket or rigging ticket or that pruning pruning one, so if I tired a rope to a limb would I not be insured because its rigging. etc etc

Trust said to me, tell your friends on arbtalk about us, be nice to have some input from them
