Tools of the trade

"Dont mean to bring this older thread back up but did you know Because of an initiative between the arboricultural trade bodies and the Health & Safety at Work Executive, all professional chainsaw operatives -tree surgeons for instance -should now hold a 'chainsaw' certificate. (Since 5th Dec 1998). So if youve not got one you cant use it for work there is also something similar regarding weed killer"
