Yes I do. But that isn't an issue. Just amazes me how I haven't had a major injury (touch wood, fingers crossed and all that) but 1 day he's on his own. The first day completely on his own and ambulance is called out.
I'm planning a holiday in August for 3 weeks. Is it even viable??

Not so. Just asked my mate in health and safety. Landscapers, fencers etc, working for the general public in private dwellings or on private land do not need it, unless they are subcontracted by another contractor, and even then its on their terms.
but we all have to have common sense when it comes to health and safety law and comply.

There's an app available for free provided by CITB called CDM Wizard. It's a risk assessment thingy aimed at us smaller operators who can't realistically afford the time or money doing a plan for a job that may take a day or two.
