  1. Offset with native planting always goes down a treat imo
  2. If I’m honest I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often. The sector is full of companies winning contracts that they don’t have the staff or experience to deliver on. Answer rely on climbers/staff who will turn up to situations like this and think that’s ok to climb as the onsite supervisor agrees, also helps it will look cool and it will save money/time. A man put his life on the line to cut a tree down and the supervisor ok’d it! The book should be thrown at the company and I hope lessons can be learnt, the key one in this situation - **************** Instagram, stop and engage your brain. Goes without saying i wish the guy a speedy recovery as we all make mistakes, however a company should be structured and experienced to stop people making these kind of mistakes.
  3. Only decision the climber should of had to make that day, is where shall i sit while they winch that over.
  4. It’s a buyers market atm for machinery (not crack)
  5. £34k included guarding and grab! Yeah, I’m going to fine tune it as I go s30 hitch next.
  6. Finally arrived… not used in anger yet but as rock steady as I remembered!
  7. not just the machinery that needs greasing
  8. Breakfast £5 Lunch £5 Dinner £20 With regards to you working away, are you contractually obliged? because if not I’d want (and I’d pay) a bonus as well!
  9. No worries - get your first aid +F course done as very useful! Plenty of rail work available and as every employer on here will attest to hard working labour is hard to come by and worth its weight in gold. Try and get in with one of the bigger firms as they will have a variety of work which will mean you’ll find your niche….. then if I was you spread your wings and spend some time in Canada or Scandinavia 🤣 don’t disregard the little things either - be the on time man sharpening his saw, cleaning up, sorting ropes, being friendly to clients/customers this will speak volumes!
  10. Got any idea what sector you want to work in? Rail,domestic, commercial, forestry? Are you willing to travel/work away? Side note - why on earth would you question where somebody got the money from to better themselves 🤣🤣
  11. Having gone through this; you can write what you want in a contract doesn’t mean a solicitor/judge won’t wipe his arse with it. Bottom line is you’re paying someone to perform a task, if they need training to perform said task that is the burden of the employer to provide training (at the companies cost). Unfortunately it’s a risk/cost of doing business, if you don’t want this problem employ someone who already has the quals that is the only “risk” free way however you would be liable for the refresher courses 🤣
  12. You will have no luck and as suggested it’s shakey ground docking final pay (although companies do it). Try putting a training plan in over say 12 months, stagger training rather then all at once and over the 12 Months they should have earnt more then enough for you to cover the training.
