Do you need a certificate to use one as i have read on here about people doing courses for them but i recently asked a painter that was using one and has done for years and he said he didnt have one and has never been asked when hiring them
I know some laws are different between England and Scotland could this be the case?
Can someone clarify this for me
And i suppose like everything else i will need to have insurance of some kind to use one on a building site

you do need a certificate to use a cherry picker and most hire companies will hire without asking as it is your responsibillity to be trained. each type of c/p needs a licence and more and more sites  (building or otherwise) will not let you work on site till they have seen your certificate, training is about 1 day and around £150.00 + vat

It will be needed for a builders clean on a new school and the main contractors are poop hot on H&S so i will definately need some sort of certificate and insurance to do this job

you will also need to have insurance to use it and against damage or theft to machine, most insurances companies cover this so just ask your current insurance for a quote,
