It might not use the word training but refer to some loose terminology as industry standards or something similar.... might not though. Unfortunately the only way often to find out exactly what the company expects is to make a claim and see what, if any excuses they come back with why your claim is not valid. This does not mean they won't pay, but are being awkward about paying.

Pass... it doesn't matter what the salesperson says or knows about the industry, the bottom line is the contract you signed with the insurance company. The policy document that goes with that contract says exactly what can and can't be claimed for as well as any minimum training standards required, etc. As long as you comply with the contract then their is no reason that I can see why the company would not to pay out for a valid claim.

Looking at the pictures, the cedar as been cross cut and now is in rounds! So the lad as done what was asked of him. Not neat and a lot of waste but job done. It is very easy to assume people will work to the same standards or even better than you do. Even with demonstration how to do it, if you don't insist it is done that way then anything goes. I learnt the hard way on that one.

Simple answer... morally..... NO..... they chose to live their knowing that the trees were next door. I'm always amazed how many people buy properties next to trees and then complain about them! If you don't like trees then don't buy the property.... seems too simple though.... when instead you can buy the property and then spend the time complaining to the neighbours.

Any one seen a tree?

One thing to add that I have not seen mentioned is that unless it is covered by legislation (eg minimum wage, hours, etc) or in your Contract of Employment (and / or other written evidence) then any wage increase is down to the discretion of the employer irrespective of any verbal agreement at interview. I have been caught by this a couple of times and so learnt the hard way. Verbal agreements are only as good as the memory of the Boss .

Because before sitting in the vehicle you have walked around it to ensure that it is road legal and observed where the filler cap is
-
My local council specifies the following dimensions: 5.5m high from the road edge nearest the kerb 0.5m in from the road edge nearest the kerp For pavements it is 2.4m from the height of the path for the whole width of the path.

Bridgedale Endurance Summit with Coolmax Liners I have found to be the best combination for me.

What is the make and model of the tractor in question?
-
The amount you can tow really depends on what the tractor is rated to tow. I would suggest starting on with the manufacturers website.
-
Done a lot of rolling, cutting, etc and the best results I have had mechanically is from using a 'bracken roller'. Now all I need to find is if I have a copy of the photo's when it all went wrong!

Fungi photo competition- win hamas camera!
Xaltu replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in Fungi Pictures
I have a photo that I would upload but I think it is too old as it was taken in November 2008.... but being pedantic the competition doesn't start until tomorrow so no valid entries so far. I must remember to take my camera with me tomorrow! Like the competition by the way -
I would suggest that you do neither but refer the person the local authority / housing association as they instructed you to carry out the work.

Nope wouldn't consider cutting 10m off the end, however if the maximum rope length I would need is 45m then I would cut 15m off and give myself two useful lengths of rope.

Pity that Landrover didn't have a towbar fitted

Easy...... 'The climber must be safely secured to the tree at all times'. What better proof do you need that he is safely secured?

Doing this also as another benefit in the form of Moorland Gold. The problem is getting the balance between clear ditches / streams to collect natural water seepage from the peat whilst not drying out the peat which leads to massive scale peat erosion. It is for this reason that their as been a lot of time, effort and finances to dam the grips. The biggest problem as I see it is our demand for water is ever increasing, but our storage capacity seems to remain the same or even reduced due to silting.

Also as far as I am aware you can only burn the waste on the site of production, even with the relevant exemptions to burn waste. Have a read of the D7 Exemption Information.

Finally had chance to look at the site and I am not a great fan of flash images, I find them very distracting. The other thing I noticed is that your company names appears all over the place, I find that excessive. At the bottom of the front page you have a scroll box which is out of place with the neat lines you have created for the rest of the page. The point I noticed is that work types link to the top of the services page. It would look better if it linked to the actual service. Having your insurance documentation, etc is a useful feature however any documentation featured must be kept up to date. As you will have noticed I have favoured what I don't like about the site, but everyone likes different things and for me I prefer to see clean, simple sites where I can get to the information I require quickly. Hope you find this helpful, but I have not gone through every aspect of the site which I have done in the past for other sites when testing them.

It is good to see the Arb Forum promoting the Automobile Association. Their in lies the problem soon as I saw AA I automatically associated it with the wrong AA, not being an Arborist .
-
"all waste removed from site" however only covers material that is no longer wanted. Of course we then are in the territory of the waste regulations.
-
I would say it is not clear cut as only a quote is mentioned not what the agreed contract for the job says, which may be different from the original quote supplied.
