Hello, looking for some info on cscs cards. We have cscs skilled worker cards with the additional ROLO 1 day H&S training course. It is my understanding that this is the correct card for tree workers on a construction site as I've never had an issue before. Is this correct?

A company that want us to do some work for them want us to have the CIBT 1 day h&s course saying the ROLO course means nothing to them. They have offered to pay for us to do the course but I'm more interested in what is the correct card & 1 day H&S course for tree workers on a construction site.

I understood that the CITB was for construction workers. 

In addition to this they say that holding SSSTS alone won't be allowed on site with out a CSCS & the CIBT h&s. Also never had an issue with this before. 

I don't mind making sure everything is correct but I'm not wasting time jumping through hoops for a 3 day job. 

Any info greatly appreciated 

Thanks 

James

Depends what work you are doing surely. What’s the reason for up scaling ? What are your other options ?

The main reason would be be load capacity, making larger jobs more practical. Less visits to the tip site... 

Hi all, 

I currently run a 3.5t cabstar, but I'm considering up grading to a 7.5t of some sort. I'm interested to hear from folk that have made the switch with regards to truck make, fuel consumption, reliability issues, general cost of running a lager truck. The obvious issue will be size but looking at any Info beyond that. 

Cheers in advance

Where would I go about finding the above, I've searched the Internet & it only seams to come up with a pressure testing kit. The only kit that dose both pressure & vacuum is available from the states & quite costly. If anyone has a link to any suitable kits that would also be a great help. 

Thanks

Hi all,

I've used forest and arb for most of my supplies and they have always been great. Two weeks ago I ordered a part for my saw they said I should be with me in 9 days fair enough. Two weeks later it's not here so I gave them a call and was told I would have to wait a further 2 weeks so I had to buy another saw online as I can't use a 390 for the work I have next week. so I ordered a 550xp when the delivery info came through the delivery date quoted was the 26th major bummer! ! And a loyal customer left unhappy. Has anybody had issues like this from f & a?

Thanks

Hi

Where can I get prices for the above saws? Had a look on ebay etc but nothing listed in the UK.

Thanks
