just to give a bit more detail - the insurace they must have is "public liability" ie if they hurt anyone or cause damage. you may also want them to have "professional indemnity" - to cover "compensation claims if a business is sued by a client for making a mistake that leads to financial loss". id certainly want to see their chainsaw licence too - if you dont have one you can only legally use a chainsaw on your own land
