I saw some guys doing a tower block near me, abseiling down. Very impressive - but how do you price for a job like that!!?

You wouldn't catch me doing it though! ;)

I don't no the salery but i belive the insurance is about 7 thousand pounds a year for cradle work and abseiling as many companys in my area have give it up beacause of insurance costs.

Has any body else heard this?

Thanks for the link Philip.

Had a look through the site but it looks like I'm wasting my time.

I work for myself, so even if I was to get level 1 I can't operate without a level 3 preseant. Which means I can't get the hours experience to go for level 2 and 3.

Is there any way that you know around this. Apart from employing someone with level 3 that is.

Thanks for your time.
