I have heard that the insurance for cradle work has jumped to about £25,000 per year.
I dont like this work at all -never felt secure in a cradle .

We had a real problem getting cover this year, many insurers would not cover cradle or rope access work, even those recommended by the Fed.
We eventually got cover at an EXTRA premiun of nearly £5k, which makes me think that soon many companies will be running the risk of not having proper insurance cover.
