Ryansaws

I’ve got a day subbing as a labourer soon and was wondering if anyone knows roughly what PPE I would be expected to bring? I’ve got helmet,jacket, gloves but don’t have saw trousers or chainsaw boots (just steel toe boots and standard work trousers).

would a labourer be expected to wear these things even if not operating a saw? Any advise here would be great, cheers!

based in Edinburgh but I drive so happy to travel.

Give TD Trees a call we are looking for staff and would be happy to give you work experience. Then see how it goes from there. Or give me a call and we can sort something out 07809400050

Thanks that sounds great, I will give you a phone tomorrow if that would work for you?

Hey there, first time poster on this forum. I’m a 21 year old based in Edinburgh, Scotland and looking into becoming a tree surgeon.

I have experience with a saw and can run one with decent confidence but don’t have any tickets. My main question is what is the best way to go about getting qualified. I’ve looked into getting nptc and it does seem pricey. would a company usually put a new “apprentice” through there training or do they mostly look for people with previous training/ nptc certified?

 I would much prefer trying to get on job experience rather than doing the college route however I would consider it if it’s more likely to allow me to break in to the industry. 
 

any help here would be appreciated, cheers!
