[QUOTE="Exfarmer, post: 611881, member: 1951"] A farmer cannot executed to be fully conversant in all aspects of H&S. So the first thing he/ she should do is to inform all contractors by written letter that they are expected to follow all relevant H&S rules. If you are lending builders your teleporter it will be up the farmer that the machine is fit for purpose particularly if a man cage is involved. Any glaring breaches of H&S such as walking about on unrailed roofs must be stopped immediately. However the necessity of netting would not automatically be assumed, that a farmer should know it is essential on fibre cement but not on steel unless roof lights were present. However if the farmer should have known ie he had been made aware by an inspector, or possibly reading this, then he could be liable. If the building co goes bust and had not paid its insurance , the farmer could be liable and if he was at fault his own insurers would not necessarily pay out :( [/QUOTE]
