Refusing to cut down a tree

[treequip]

I think its actually a maximum of £20K, that can be shared between those responsible for the offence. That would normally be the owner and the contractor.

 

I am not aware of an case where an "employee" of a contractor has be fined.

 

Quite right

If you are employed the onus is on the employer to check for restraints. However, if you work on a self employed basis and you are doing the sawing the responsibility is yours.

 

as pointed out 3 pages back......

Do you think a checkout girl could get done for handling stollen goods, if the boss stocked the shop with dodgy stock?

 

It is unreasonable to expect employees to be checking that all paperwork is in place before carrying out work.

 

Where would it end??

But this employee has posted on a open form to be viewed by anyone which I think has all ready been said.

How could there boss check the line is dead before its been done:confused1:

 

The paper work for shut downs is produced only once the power has been turned off and earths fitted, the only people able to check it are the guys on site, hardly comparable with checking for TPO's.

Which IMO was a mistake.

James91, new account, I wasn't going to keep you updated, but figured I probably should.

 

Literally feel sick I'm that worried about tomorrow, but I've made my mind up:

 

If he hasn't checked, I'll check, If they cant give me an answer, I'm going to refuse, if he fires me, so be it.

 

What was the outcome then?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you are a subbie you are classed as an employee for the day no? Not talking bonafide sub contractors, just freelancers
