Looks like a right horrible job to do:thumbdown: The only palms I do get one cut at the base:thumbup1:
-
Must try harder. Thats not a 'topping', this is a 'topping' [ATTACH]31562[/ATTACH] An before anyone has a fit it is all my own work so its bonafide to post:thumbup1: Dean, nice job considering the amount youve taken off.
-
You sure about that? I thought that as long as it was away from fires (10 metres i think) and in a suitable container ie fuel can/combi can then it was fine:confused1: Ours is just in a husky combi and goes where ever theres room to fit:thumbup1: Same as for the saws. I know its of no help to you though, sry. If its got to be locked up then who's responsible for the key? And should that key also be locked up also:sneaky2:
-
I must be the only one that wears a Husky then! Its not that I think there great its just the others ive tried(stihl and oregon) are cr4p.

As all of the above you need to get some certs.Whether you think its right or wrong its the way things are these days. That is if you want to be employed and or subbie out. Unless you can get a job as a trainee. Depends what the market is like where you are though but here there have been loads of qualified climbers looking for work for the last 18 months, they will get a foot in the door over someone with no certs. Experience and more importantly skill do mean more but not to the HSE. Good luck in how you decide to do it.

They rot quite badly if you leave large wounds, and yeah at 25M probably a world record:thumbup: A photo would be best but at a guess 2M should be ok.

Just a quick thought. Plenty of times threads have popped up in reagrds to risk assesment and method statements. Quite often some of us will post up the ones we use and/or link to the MS on your site. Now, maybe a bit of a fund raiser for yourselves but why not come up with a good RA. One that can be filled in really quickly and easily otherwise a lot of us wont bother ie a tick box one sided A4 size jobbie. And a bit of a better method statement that can also be amended and filled in with ease for those H&S bods when doing commercial. You could maybe charge a small fee to download them or sell them (RA's) as a note book style of something. Heres a link where Steve is trying to sort something out(I hope he dont mind me suggesting this to you) http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/8281-risk-assessments-method-statements-last-time-hopefully.html

Your right the cost doesnt seem to bad at all. I thought that when people went on about the cost I thought it was more to do with changes that had to be done to the company to pass etc.
-
Looks nice:thumbup1: Cant beat the first start of a brand new saw:thumbup:
-
Did you ever get one?
-
Arr right thanks:thumbup1: Thats usually me, didnt know I could charge myself £250:001_smile:
-
Surely depends whats in the bag! I have a complete lowering kit in the van its 50M of 16mm bull rope:thumbup1:
-
Dont want to derail from the thread but whats an AP? Is it something new? Thanks.
-
I paid around £200 + vat, doubled in 5 years:thumbdown:
-
Thought that might grab your attention:001_smile: although since you seem to manage to answer every question that has been asked lately looks like I didnt need to say the above. I wasnt aware that 'members' could use any type of advertisement that they are a member of the AA.If its on your web site I musta missed it. Can totally understand that AAAC's should have a unique logo and wouldnt dispute that at all.They have obviously put the time effort and money in and truly deserve to show that. In regards to the post about the cost, is there anything specific that the AA feels that companies struggle with in achieving AAAC status? Thanks for all the info provided much appreciated.

If theres something really fragile looking that cant be moved or protected then I just tell the customer I will do my best but cant guarantee it wont be damaged. Its that or load the quote to death to cover myself. Doesnt happen often mind and its usually things like trellis covered in climbers or pegola's rotted to death there but for the grace of God. I know it sounds like a cop out but there are certain levels of risk not worth committing yourself to IMO. Last one was were I said I would only do the job with a MEWP, its still never been done and that was 2ish years ago:001_smile:
-
Sounds highly illegal to me!
-
No wonder you all need to be better paid:scared1: £100 a day for someone to just hump logs and brash is well I should say madness but tbh if thats what people can get then brilliant, if you know what I mean.
-
Yep thats the one:thumbup1: Sort of.
-
ISA it is instead then:thumbup1: I just thought it would help promote the AA and bring in more revenue to help them achieve 'higher' goals etc.
-
I'm sure this came up before and someone pointed out a case where a company had been fined for removing deadwood from a TPO'd tree. Although since I cant find the thread(havent looked tbh) then I suppose best to ignore my comments since there based on something I think happended. I know a TO who has requested an application for deadwood removal in the past.
-
If I could use the logo on my truck, headed letter paper etc then I would become an AA 'member'
-
If ever man did a stupid thing it was that! That was one big mother who kicked him in the bullocks!
-
A duck billed platypus maybe?
