Mr Bish, look at the wider considerations as Ed Points out. How does anyone legislate or protect idiots and the foolhardy?
-
Your point are more than relevant Linda. The working enviroment does effect how an individual works. You rarely get reckless individuals in a safety orientated company and vice versa. The culture of work may be a large component of many accidents

It is a deceptive harness Mac. Not the best by any standards but suits some well. You going to try to go to the AA show?
-
It is quite a good harness, and I have spent many hours sitting in one. (G 7REE have you seen the amount of padding on the legs of a treemotion?) I would try it on before you buy any harness. Some just do not fit diferent body types and everyone's geometry is different. Is there a local supplier?
-
You have not always got away with it though. Neither have I
-
I wonder if accidents by experianced users are a combination of complacency and probability? If you push the boundaries/take risks daily, then eventually the dice might throw you a less than desirable score. Just a point of discussion more than a theory
-
The Mountain depot don't half put a mark-up on there kit. I hope you have not been sourcing your kt there Bill.
-
I'd be interested in the w/yorks course
-
I was told to find a turd and place it in the litter tray, and scent it like Dean sujested. Cats for all there other faults and fickle habits are clean
-
lol short and sweet, I enjoyed that!

I'm sure allowances can be made, you look old enough:)

[ame] [/ame] It was one of RB Trees jobs, Wiley_P was brought in to do the felling. Some better clips at the end of this one [ame] [/ame]

[ame] [/ame] Why we should not take our procedures for granted!
-
If that was footlocking then i have the tact and inteligance of Dean!
-
pmsl i remember that, you squeeled like little miss muffet in a bath of spiders. :wave: you shot it afterall, thought you would have liked a trophy
-
Has anyone had experience of making a successful claim against an individual or company (employer) ? If so could they explain the grounds for there action (pm if you do not want to disclose it on the public forum)
-
On the third pic, were you not worried about getting your hand trapped. It appears to be inline with the falling timber. Nice work by the way
-
I can't believe you don't have a black AND a gold one Peter. Shame on you :wave:
-
Must not have been big enough as i can't remember:wave:
-
plunge cuts are very limiting, if the wood is brittle or there are cavities you can find yourself in a very dangerous and difficult position as the hinge is set poorley with no chance of compensating for the problem
-
So even if the "employer" had no input to the accident, they could stilll be financially liable for lost earnings and compensation?
-
I would seek expert advice personally. These situations, from the little i know of them are complex to say the least. As was stated earlier, as far as the H&S are concerned he was an employee at the time therefore putting the duty of care upon you.

Is there a viable future for dry top quality logs
Pete Mctree replied to yaxleylad's topic in Firewood forum
I had forgotten about him. I may have upset him a few years ago when I said I gave all my timber away free and he could not have any:) -

haha or just buy him the cheap wine- saving the best for yourself of course. Enjoy Nick
