How far is Fallowfields - Manchester from Bolton.

We will be there tomorrow and Wednesday if you want to come and pick one up.

I have just reorganised one that I was given that cost the company £800.00 to have done. Mine is better by a long way.

Give me a call after 10 this morning if you want it

Ive had some missed calls so I don't know if you rang me today, cannot hear phone over 2 jet washers and MEWP.

Looks like we will be in Fallowfields till the end of the week now - but I wont have the risk assessment till Wednesday now - laptop up unit and we are out at 5 in the morning again. Will print one off for you just in case.

Leave it with you

Hi
I can compose a risk assessment for you, Generic risk assessments are not a good idea as they will not stand well in the court of law they have to be specific, Send me an e-mail on the MEWP you are using and the activity being done

H&S is paramount to working practise and the method/risk assessment is as important as turning up with all the right tools.

Ricky - no one has said that the risk assessment that Chris was after wasn't site specific. - the copy he has had was for a Sainsburys store in Wakefield and was site specific and was personalised to our trading name and specifically to me - so it cannot be used by another company!!!

What Chris wanted was the fabric and backbone of what to put into the statement.  Most people aren't confident with the detail and probably haven't done as many as we have.

I gave him a copy of the statement to do what he wants with - so he has an understanding of what needs to go in to one and so that he can create his own template - if  he uses a similar style to ours I will be chuffed to bits and if it helps him to win a contract over the next man it will prove that it is a good document.

It is the best risk assessment I have ever seen and it hasn't cost him a penny.

You have accreditation after your name - important sounding but I don't think you were giving the information away for free!!!!

Networking works and the sharing and giving of information is what this forum exists for.

I don't knock personal enterprise - we are all here to make money but I wil wager that whatever you draft for him will not be better than what he has had for free!!!!

The original document had an £800.00 cost and it has been improved upon!!!!!

I wish you well and much success but you aren't aware of me and don't know my working practises and don't know of the lengthy conversation that two window cleaners - networking, had at lunchtime today.

50% of my current business is for Sainsburys on a national level - through the principal contractor - the RG Group. They will not settle for non specifics at any level.

Good luck

Rob ;D

Mr RCWY
All your posts seem to  have been about making money from other window cleaners, this forum is about sharing information
