My favourite quote from Winston Churchill is ‘Don’t believe everything you read on the internet’. This came to mind because I have just read a post online which said, ‘you don’t need Employer’s Liability Insurance if you are using subbies who have their own insurance’!

We have had a call from an employed Arborist about whether staff could reduce their PPE due to the heat. He said the risk of heat exhaustion was higher than that of a chainsaw injury. I pointed out that health and safety policy was not down to us, but clearly if it is too hot…
It’s that time of year when we start to get even more claims for damage to artificial grass. This creates headaches for contractors, insurers and customers alike. The reality is that artificial grass is becoming more and more popular, although I am not sure why! The problem is that the synthetic green carpet is not…
