Phil,

With your T&C part, would it be useful to add retention of title over goods supplied until paid for in full. I know of one Landscaper that was locked out of premises that he was working on and lost over 50k in stock has he did not have such a clause?

Good point Steve

Each business should amend the T&Cs to suit their needs

Hi Phil, just come across these, which are really useful - particularly for us, just starting off. Amazing stuff. However, in the risk assessment doc the detail reviews stop after Section 5, Arboricultural Operations... do you have the full doc at all?! It would be a huge help! james@streetscape.org.uk

Thanks so much!
