Bad habits

[Thesnarlingbadger]

It's a constant problem piss on the leg, at least you are looking at it in a silver-lining kind of way

[Mark Bolam]

Not wearing proper ppe.

Haven't worn chainsaw keks or boots for months.

Having a slash on a cold day then putting it back in before you've really finished.

Does warm you up for a few seconds though!

 

That's just an age thing mick 😜

Cutting and holding, not putting on chain brake, drop starting saws, not putting my visor down, arguing with the sat nav and eating nuttela with a spoon from the jar are among mine

[Steve Bullman]

The list is too long. Unfortunately i'm not a patient man and if I dropped a lot of them my work rate along with fluidity would be seriously impaired, not a compromise i'm prepared to make really.

The PPE has never been an issue for me as I had to wear it or get a bollockin when I started out, but I have noticed some people not wearing lids on a regular basis and I keep telling them that its stupid not to were a lid when you have people climbing above you in a fast paced work place. Ok I'll let it slide if people are just pruning fruit trees or something. But still accidents happen bloody quickly.

If anyone was working for me and took a slash I'd deduct the time taken from their pay.

What if they piss while working? Soggy trousers but no loss in wages..

[Joe Newton]

I would imagine as a new groundy that telling your boss how he should be working is a pretty bad habit...

This gets right on my wick. If its hot and im doing something on the ground with zero risk of anything hitting me from above I will often take my helmet off, but still wears safety glasses and ear plugs.

 

I won't put up with a groundsman with no helmet on. My no.1 pet peave though is when a groundy walks under the tree without looking up first, helmet or no helmet. Seems to be the obvious thing to do for anyone valueing their own life would be to look up before walking under a tree they know full well someones dropping lumps out of

Yeah but was wasn't going to get arsey. He was just trying to understand why I was doing something the way I was. I was more of a "why do you not have your side strop on"?
