Using a chainsaw in a public place
treequip replied to NorfolknGood's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Oh gawd the conspiracy theorist is back..... You have a duty of care to everyone, including yourself but that notwithstanding can you show me where it says he is on his own property???? -
Did you mean sense of honour or sense of humour? I think they are "heading it off at the pass", good picture but it was only a matter of time before someone said kids shouldn't use saws......

Using a chainsaw in a public place
treequip replied to NorfolknGood's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
If he is doing it for the wood its hard to see how you can make a case for community activity. If he cut the timber off the path and left it all behind then I can see that as a public minded venture but is wont take it into the HSE's remit (if that's where you are going with this tack) unless he is instructed by the LA or some sort of community body -
Using a chainsaw in a public place
treequip replied to NorfolknGood's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Still not clear Is he a volunteer or not? If the activity is commercial it must meet the HSE's requirements for PPE HSAW etc. If they are part of a community organisation that's going to be commercial but if its just some random bloke cutting stuff up in public there isn't much that can be done legally. The land owner can insist they conform to safety standards or stop -
Using a chainsaw in a public place
treequip replied to NorfolknGood's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
If the use is commercial the HSE are going to have an issue with the lack of PPE. There is no requirement for public liability insurance but many public event organisers will insist on it. Any more detail? -
That's not quite the same thing though is it? You ducked up and went round to put it right, that's the right thing to do and probably avoided an issue. No cost implication to the client and not getting involved in, what is usually a long standing issue over the trespass Getting involved in negotiations over branch trespass is a job for a mediator or a tree surgeon with a lot of spare time:laugh1:
-
Its not the remit of the contractor the to negotiate with the tree owner, and its not the best idea even if the client asks you to do it because you are dealing with an issue that can cost your client a decent sum of money Advise your client of their options and go with their instructions. If they want the cost of disposal separated on the invoice do that and let the client sort the rest out with the tree owner.
-
The law holds that the branches belong to them and if they chose not to accept them its only reasonable that they meet their obligations financially. If they don't want to pay there is always small claims. As far as what to charge, work out how much time was drag chip and tip and divide the bill accordingly.
-
As others have said above but there is no reason why the client should bear the cost of disposing of the arising's For the most part a few branches aren't a problem but disposing of a garden length of conifer brash is a significant cost. Chucking it from whence it came is indeed fly tipping but the penalty is negligible if you do no damage. It is possible for the client to recover the costs of disposal from the tree owner.

I like the Pfanner Zermats Good quality re sole able, a tad on the heavy side but you wont find a better boot for take downs and spikes.

If the pump is blanked it will stall the engine You need an open centre valve, make sure its big enough for the flow on the pump
-
Yup I change the fuel filters on a monthly basis, filters are cheap, breakdowns are costly and wreck your schedule.

Oh gawd, I fear we will see the advent of the mycelial mankini:laugh1:
-
You did well, they have gone for as little as 32 quid on ebay Mine can stay where it is
-
Well the farmer isn't happy and I would trust him to know his kit and the ground he is pulling on, oh and I don't know what noise a caterpillar makes but is doesn't "meaoOW"
-
Errrrr The client wants it dismantled Dismantle it and charge accordingly
-
The registration thing is purely a matter of from, what matters is use. If you aren't engaged in agriculture........
-
That is the gospel
-
That's the way to go, a net will stop big stuff but it will let all the dust out and still make a mess, particularly on your truck. Nets aren't all that durable where wood chip is concerned
-
Not much need for large amounts of stock any more Between the four or five factors that cover my area, I can have whatever I need delivered to me within hours and most of the time under an hour. Keeps prices keen as well:thumbup1:
-
Nick will see you right, I would have take it on myself but its busy busy busy here
-
If that's the worst that's happened you did well. Wait till you get one that forms a limited company around the build then drags out payment until they can wind the company up to avoid paying a load of bills. I spotted the change on the purchase order and sent it back with a "no thanks". Others weren't so lucky

Saw a couple with the ends melted off

Good God man, what are you hitting them with?
