Hi Ragscaff
Joe 90 suggested that i get in touch with you in respect of the ECITB situation, as you know it is causing a lot of problems. I mentioned to Joe that i have spent a lot of time getting in touch with the CITB, ECITB AND t & g trying to get the thing turned around.As mentioned to Joe if the ECITB was a flawed system of training why wasnt it spotted by the buggers that wont recognise the card now. It was on all the major scaffolding firms application forms and mine wasnt thrown at me it took five years to get it. Joe says cavalry is on the way, maybe he means you mate.What should happen is that we do a touch screen test and pay a levy to get back into the system,this would also help a lot of scaffolding companies out as well and bounce funds back in, as it has been a difficult situation for them too.I would appreciate you getting back to me with any news mate.
Best Regards
Roy.

Hi Ragscaff do you mean a sticky thread with a link to the group in it?

Hi Ragscaff

Unfortuneately it is not possible to move groups into the main forums section. There is a sticky thread linking to it at the top of the main forum and I will make sure that a link is included in the majority of emails that we send out.

Hi Ragstaff
Up to my neck in it at the moment new baby and loads of work to do. As far as the meeting is concerned cant make it as on paternity at the moment. The only way forward in my opinion is advanced guardrails, look after a company called MPT Scaffolding and they have made one that is fitted in seconds and we have proved it is quicker than the Jordan step and no risk!!!!!
The trouble is too many people want scaffolding to be as cheap as chips but as safe as houses, harness and step ups can make it cheap as chips.
I am an SG4 trainer and it slows down the erection process by 20% at least.
Jordan step requires too much messing around with hemps.
So for me advance guardrails are the only way to comply with the WAH Regs

Hi ragscaff

I would attend if I could mate but work commitments make it difficult (i'm already taking time off next week to attend a family funeral). I really did think you would have no problem drumming up volunteers. [Shows what I know!!] I don't know what else to suggest to you mate you've tried everything even down to shaming the lads.

I cant understand it---what the matter with them---Im going to start sending PM's...

i been meaning to do it for ages bud no probs i sort it asap
