Book for road work regulations

[Orchard gm]

Is there a book you can buy that gives the ins and outs of road works, there are plenty of times we take up say a 1/2 or a 3rd of a lane on the road doing tree work and I get the feeling a few 300mm arco cones are not enough!! Most times it would not make sense to get a local traffic management company in as it would cost too much and price me out the job. Although I would get someone in if it was a really big job!

I don't mind buying signs etc, it just seems crazy doing all my chainsaw and climbing tickets, PA1 & 6 tickets all Heath and safety stuff and first aid, being fully insured then being totally illegal when I park my van on a roadside!

Probably, but it's only a one day course for operatives and a second day for supervisors.

Sure, £5.00 at Amazon. You still need the ticket though.

yes need the ticket to be able to work on road and put the signs up. i did mine with council as i am contracted by them so cost me nowt. bt if you do do the course if its no more do chapter 8 it lets you do more and you get the little red book with it

You need the ticket I'm afraid- If you just set up signs and there is an accident you will not be insured as I understand it even if you set them up right.

It's a hard world.
