Not having a dig at Arb Assesments, just h&s in general, i got the coshh sheets for all the stuff we have at Heritage unfortunatly i didn't put them in the truck, now not a big deal you would of thought, BUT would you know what to do if someone drank the 2 stroke on site?

 

Even in my last job as a gardener i wasn't allowed to keep my sqaush or water in the shed as I may drink the weedkiller by mistake, but everything would be fine as i had the coshh sheet for it.

 

Health and safety is a very good thing,,,, so is common sense.

or printer ink!

 

dont worry about the tree work, they dont worry about silly stuff like trees, the bloke will turn up on site in trainers, shorts, no helmet or any other ppe, and check for empty crisp packets in the truck, dust on the dashboard, or scratched saws - a sure sign of bad tree work that

 

so dont eat youre lunch,

vallet youre truck

and polish youre saws

then once hes gone, you can actually get on, and do some tree work

Relax and forget they are there

I guess you should have a recylable certificate license for carrying empty printer ink cartridges!

It was the opposite in my experience they didn't seem to worried about the trucks or how clean the saws were, as long as they were safe to use. The 2 assesors who came out were very friendly and intrested in how we did our tree work, can't remember if they wore other ppe, but they had helmets and hi-viz, they are coming to audit a company! not work.

 

They were very professional, listened and were helpfull if a little ott on some aspects but that is there job i wouldn't expect anything else, like the loler wanting to know why a harness hadn't got its id number listed - minor details which can be corrected.

 

As for the paperwork side of things well thats down to the company owner, although i'm only a subbie and not employed i do feel all who work at a company make that company.
