Well done Steve for helping raise a good sum for The Childrens Trust thank you. Thank you to the sponsers as well, very generous prizes !! Well done all who won, hope the peeps who won a certain prize never use them!!!! please come and visit the chat room before next years draw, there is 5 or 6 of us trying to make use of it and it`s nice to have someone different to chat to.Please not all at once though

Sorry to be thick but You are going to start the draw in the chatroom? if it fails you will continue on the forum and lock the chatroom? bit confusing

don`t reply if you don`t want to but a guess would be half the original value?

bummer!!

sounds spot on , lost most of it`s bullshit value now. Best time to buy.

recession? no money in treees!!! fair play ! nice bike! i would also die on something like that:001_tt1:

i thought it was a ms260 not an 88?

:ohmy: now i think you are being greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeddddiiieeeee MR PIGGIE EDD!! lucky git:001_tongue:

You got the ideal place down there John, How would the Forestry Comission take 20 blokes swinging around the great oaks on a sunny saturday afternoon?

I think alot of this is if you can prove you took good steps to prevent any incidents happening and show it by a paper document then i thnk the contracting company is clear. Not sure about Mrs Miggins getting you to trim her bush and you chop your fingers off. I would think the employer would have to show knowledge of the field of contract,I.e if i got a electrician out to wire in a shower for me i really wouldn`t know what PPE he should be using or correct methods of work so how could i be liable? But if i got a tree surgeon in to cut a tree down without PPE then i guess i could be liable. Interesting subject would love to know where this stands

Yea good points Mesterh But any good safety officer would use a little common sense and understand that someone forgetting his visor once and realising his mistake is not really a problem, the problem would be if he didn`t realise it was a mistake and accept it. Our job is dangerous! Working at height, chainsaws, heavy manual work and unpredictable items I.E trees and the weather. Good risk assesment is a big step towards making people think about what they are doing. I mean good risk assesment not just write down what was written yesterday or not bother, we write riskies for every site we visit if this is 4 sites a day the 4 riskies are written. I hate this stigma that to wear full PPE and tie up your boots to the top is uncool and lads deam it neccesary to use as little PPE as possible and leave the visor up just incase some bird walks by!!! I don`t fancy the pressure of being a safety office because as you said YOUR arse is on the line if you miss a point and that point causes an accident. The negitivity towards someone who points out a safety issue to a fellow worker and takes it as if it`s an insult is also wrong. The attitude of i have been doing this for x years and havn`t hurt myself so i won`t hurt myself now is a bit narrow minded as well. I can understand the older workers point but the fact is PPE, knowledge and standards are improving all the time so new ideas will come along and some will be better and some will be a pain and no gain, but thats for the experianced workers to provide constructive points to change the view.

sounds like you need to get your sponge and bucket out Dean, go wash the cars in the morning. If you went round there with your 12g and twated 500 of them and left them allover the place you would get hung drawn and quatered. Convienientlly put it at the bottom of the to do list

beacuse they are as BRITISH as you can get!!!!!!!!!!!

i havn`t got any hair and i drive a jap:confused1:

93 actually:lol: well done:001_tongue:

Does his awkward views make sense from a safety point of view? if so awkward could stop you or your work mates injuring themselfs or worse. As for being disliked because your trying to reduce fellow workers from having an accident on injury then more fools them. Strange reaction you get from people when you see a possible incedent and try to prevent it , after all your only trying to help someone from hurting themselfs. Wierd:confused1:
