webber Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 If you are doing it for reward I seriously doubt it; but PM David BASC, he'll put you straight. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marine1980 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 You could always try and fell them by beating them down using your shot gun butt!! Your probably covered then! Royal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyatt Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 From memory, BASC insurance doesn't cover commercial work. So if you're beating or working for reward you need different insurance. I'll try to dig out the exact wording, it'll be on their web site somewhere. I'd imagine chain saw work would be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyatt Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Update: The policy is here: http://www.basc.org.uk/download.cfm/docid/FD91847E-F40C-4666-B59BA58F699DFB23 The wording of interest I believe is this: Excluding members occupation 0189The indemnity granted by this Policy will not apply in respect of Liability arising from members occupation trade or profession Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
