Double standards

[Treegeek]

Need to bite my tongue abit don't want a slapped wrist but I will avoid this being a rant. My point is large companies and organizations doing arb work should tow the line on way home though the new forest guys working roadside full tm stop go boards all ok then there's 3 blokes in access platform basket no harnesses using un necessary long ground saw what realy gets me is that this organization has and does work and research with our friends at the hse.

I'm not trying to throw dirt but if big names cut corners the Joe public won't apprecate why there paying the right money for a safe and good job.

Obviously you stopped and asked to see their RA and Method Statement before assuming they were just being careless?

and what difference would that make given that basic rules where ignored?

No RA or MS will state it is ok to work at height without harnesses. If it does, then imo at the very least the person who wrote it doesnt derserve their job, and if i was employing this company to do work for me, then i would get rid and get new company in.

I'm keeping out of this one. I can't slate others for taking shortcuts while I'm still doing it myself.

TBH there is taking a short cut and TAKING A SHORT CUT ,yes we all take the odd shocut to get the job done BUT using a mewp on the side of the road without a harness is just asking for trouble IMO
