We did the roof over the wknd, took three of us 22 hrs, 22 by 40 mtrs fibre cement was knackered by the end as I had to lift the 10ft sheets up from the cage to the two on the roof, not as young as I used to beput it up at night

Not sure if I agree. Yes what you suggest will show you have taken steps and reduce risk
, but if something goes wrong on your business there is a reason and you have to show that reasonable steps were taken to avoid risk not just have the paper work in place. Even having a qualified person overseeing the contractor wont work if there is an accident as he obviously did not do his job and you were responsible for him.
If you see someone doing something silly and dangerous on your farm you should stop them its common sense.
With the benifit if hindsight most accidents are foreseeable.
Another example.
I am having an extension on the house. A builder is doing the job. A professional scaffolding team came and erected the scaffold. How would I know what is acceptable when erecting scaffold?
If it's a private residence I understand it's the builders responsibility but with a farm where the house is used as part of the business then I assume I would be responsible for their actions.
Of course it does seem, to me at least , that scaffolders are in a league of their own when it comes to H&S.For a scaffolding right now; A Scafftag is required. This is part of the newest ruling for the safety element of scaffolding hire. It comes with the professional bit of scaffold erectors and is tied/hooked to your scaffold and lasts one week. Go from there....
Some contractors will not work on platforms without this being current as their liability insurance would be void.

Look at the CDM rules too.
