Good morning all

I have a bit of a problem, within my generic risk assessment it covers overhead utilities and underground utilities, but can't find any thing about the utilities that lay on the ground, nothing on the HSE website, about services that just lay on the ground level, i am very aware they shouldn't really be there (I'm dealing with gas and telephone cables) but they are and need to make amendments to my risk assessments for this situation, any advice or help is welcome

many thanks all

I would do the training cause the whole calibration can be hard to get your head round and you get the practice in, also you get a good knowledge with the training also if your doing pa6 I would ask for the pa6aw it's a few extra questions but means that you can spray by water and it's no extra cost, best of luck

It is a legal requirement for all employers to have employer liability insurance

Same situation I'm in

Sorry to hear that, it's not only the money side it's the sheer lack of knowledge of tree work as well (cowboys claiming to know what there on about or people who don't have the right skills to be running a company and then putting added pressure on the one person that does) its coming more apparent to me so just thought I send out a nudge and thought on it

So you're going to work for someone who nicks your car and kit while you are up the tree......................weird

Or do you mean you've worked for a company who didn't pay you... that sounds more likely.

If I was freelance I'd insist on seeing the main contractors insurance as a matter of course but I understand this wouldn't start you on the right footing. I guess it's best to work for companies you trust and not ones you've rung up on the offchance though I expect this often happens. Find a good company and treat them well would be my take on it.

Your not going to work threw choice if you know there going to do it are you, but you never know really it also works both ways, employer and employee,

Exactly, just don't always take things at face value

It's is for me but anyone can advertise on the yellow pages, and we always advise people to call thew there to find work, it is a 1 in a million chance that it happens but worth checking who you are going to be working for

Not as a person but what tickets they have experience in the tree world

I'm not saying everyone is just saying do some research

Well not paying, not being properley insured not saying who they are

I'm finding there to be more crooked tree surgeons out there, for new and some old do your reasearch on who you work for, just thought I'd put a reminder out there, as I've been bitten more than once now

Snow in Essex and west bound m25

Its a circle I'm happy to be out of with the licence and work but it will happen for you just need to keep working at it, and all will fall into place, worse case is do what work you can, get the money and then you licence
