good to know. It's on my To Watch List. Just wasn't sure if I would like it.

dude you've just described half of Sunningdale / Parklands

I had to google Alpecin

true. People in SA spend a stupid portion of their salary on cars

Eselfontein - schweeeeeet

what is this service malarkey whereof you speak?

something like this https://www.gumtree.co.za/a-circular-saws/blue-downs/table-saw-with-jointer/1008047426820910017568209

Have you looked second hand. I bought a second hand one a few years ago (ok 10 years ago) for R2k. The thing is as solid as a brick shthouse. I wouldn't touch a Ryobi table saw.

ja I rode Witfontein a few years ago and I loved the wildness of it.

Looks very lekker, but I don't know what gnar and jank mean? I've ridden all of Conters, many times, so does that mean I've already gnared and janked? Or is this new trail the sole custodian of the gnar and jank at the Tygerberm trails

Yup, that's the only reason I would watch it - for the scenery. Have also done loads of diving in that environment. Cringy and fluffy pretty much describes what I have heard from others

From what I've heard from people that have seen the original, the Kreepy version is better

I've seen Sicario - very good. Will have a look at ZZZ.

jeez that's stunning Wayne. I really regret not getting that far south on my little 3 week jaunt around NZ 2 years ago

Finished S1 S2 S3 of Narcos. The Columbian story. Now into S2 of Narcos Mexico. I know it's not all 100% fact ,but it is based on reality and if only 50% is true, jaaaaasus those okes were/are psychos

Yes that would be my plan as well.

I don't think the BC can be expected to ensure that day to day compliance takes place.

Thanks for all the replies guys. As I said, I want to ensure compliance with OHS, but there is another trustee who likes taking the cheapest option, so I need to show him that legally, we as trustees, are responsible for appointing compliant contractors. He wasn't even bothered about doing the asbestos removal properly. Just wanted to get in some bakkie builder and make it his problem.

I have my own health and safety guy who is going to make sure that the contractors H & S file is up to standard.

Yes I am aware of the regulations around asbestos. You need permits from CoCT. It's an expensive process.

The day to day compliance I would think is the contractors responsibility. But is it the trustees' responsibility to appoint a OHS compliant contractor? I would say yes, but some cheapskate trustees say no.

I have searched the CSOS - it's not very clear on this. Doesn't mention anything in this regard specifically. Managing Agents are also a bit vague, but waiting for them to come back with more info. But The Hub is the repository of all knowledge, hence my question here

Did a search and couldn't find anything on this subject, although I seem to remember it was discussed. We are busy with a biggish project at a sectional title unit I own. Will involve builder/roofing contractor working on scaffolding, etc and also the removal of old asbestos gutters and roof sheets. As a trustee, what legal obligation do you have to ensure that the appointed contractor complies with all OHS regulations regarding the work on site, as well as the asbestos removal? I feel we have a responsibility to appoint a compliant contractor, but another trustee, who is looking for the cheapest solution, wants to appoint a contractor regardless of whether they comply or not. Any legal eagles out there who can advise?
