Saw miling workshops

[Arborworks Ltd]

We are thinking of starting one day workshops for the general public to demonstrate the use of the Alaskan & Logosol saw mills. Does any one know the ins & outs, what insurance cover might we need

I think the best thing to do is talk to your current insurers. There are some odd aspects as to what you're covered for-

 

The first time we took wooden bits and bobs to a Farmers Market the organisers got the hump as despite stated cover for all the more lethal aspects of trees and timber we hadn't specifically got cover for markets.

 

I don't think you'd need a new policy- best to ask the experts and see if you need cover tweaking.

I was asked to do a few days hedgelaying training by a local authority. They were booking people on and I was just turning up on the days to teach. At pretty much the last minute, they told me they expected me to be providing insurance cover, and my insurers told me it would be another £300, which was pretty much their minimum premium. This would have covered a year, with up to 10 days training, I think. It would have been a lot more if under 18s were to be involved.
