pete 2,499 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Most tradesmen,and a lot of labourers, these days are self employed with their own public liability insurance. It is not just about insurance Ian. Insurance is paid out after an accident happens. It is about making sure the up most is done to stop accidents happening. Making sure people are sufficiently trained for the work they are doing. Making sure general safety practices are followed and not set aside to avoid costs or time. There are British and European standards that have to be met and if they are not followed and an accident does happen then it is possible someone will be taken to court with the possibility of a jail sentence. With yo working on the rigs I am sure you are pretty well up on safety procedures. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I would even go as far as saying the first person on site should be a safety officer. Pity I am so far away as I am now temporarily out of work. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I wouldn't, I witness instances every day so I'm aware of potential HSE incidents,but you seem to be making an issue before the event!, I think you just want the job of safety officer:). The oil & gas industry is always looking for propery NEBOSH qualified safety officers!,you should try Allseas.com Edited March 11, 2015 by ian1964 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
26th of foot 6,114 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I understand that Gilligan has been given responsibility of the refurbishment of Ibrox. I'm not sure that he has much property management experience but is certainly ideal for promoting a venture such as this and I'm sure he will work well with the likes of Allan Woods. I seem to remember, John is a time-served Joiner. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
