dont understand what legallity has to do with it , jobs just the same as any other job , might be wise to advise customer to use some sort of none slip tile on floor, apart from that no probs!!!

public liabilty insurance you should have as standard, never be with out it... you just never know one day you might need it.

What about 110volt tools, mine are all 230/240 Oh, and cscs card

 

[Varley]

110v really only necessary on construction sites, you'll be fine with 240v.

 

[DHTiling]

just use a circuit breaker in line

 

[Varley]

Would be advisable to start getting 110v tools though Paul, better for health and safety, a 110v electric shock is just that, A SHOCK, a 240v shock can KILL! Something to remember when upgrading and buying new tools.

Remember we tilers are often working with our power tools around buckets of water and such, we are at quite high risks of shock etc through most of our working day, one silly mistake is all it takes :wink_smile:

I was talking to h.s.e. about a month back and the 110v tools law on sites etc is going to be changed as you actually get a bigger shock of 110v because it carries i higher ampge
and its the amps that give you the belt he said, so what they are going to introduce god knows,

If they can't figure out whats best for us how the bloody hell are we supposed to know, thanks for that info dh will have to keep an eye on that. Are they gonna subsidise tradesmen who have spent all there money on 110v tools (as advised by hse) to change to 240v (which they told us to avoid)...I think not, could cost tradesmen a bloody fortune this! :icon9:
