Hi all....

Im looking to pick the brains of my fellow scaffs on here!

As mentioned in my header im looking to spread my wings within the the scaffolding game.

Im a time served scaffolder that has worked on a whole host of projects, from street work to new build and large projects like wembley stadium.
Im curently working down at the olymics and its has got to the stage where i want to futher myself with more training.

So that leads me to you guys on here for some straight talking advise...

Where to go from here!

Im thinking of doing the ccnsg saftey passport and maybe my confined spaces but im unsure of what work this could lead on too!

Is there any scaffs out there that have got the eusr card?

Sorry for this being long winded but ive got to that fork road in my working life and would love to here from my fellow scaffs to see what worldly advise you could give me.

Many thanks Jason
 
Hi Jason

I think you need to work out what direction you want to take beyond being on the tools before you spend your hard earned money on training etc mate.

I would say most lads progess into the following:

1) Management
2) Health & Safety
3) Technical
4) Instruction

There are obviously a whole heap of training that is involved in the all of the described disciplines, its just a case of which area(s) you want to specialise in.
 
Thanks for a speedy reply PW

To be honest im not ready to come of the tools just yet, although i have been putting my back through the s**t over the the last 14 years im only 32 and still have a passion for putting the stuff up.

I think that what i am looking for is a challange and an area where i could continue to learn new avenues of scaffolding.

I have been thinking about power station work but other than that maybe pts/london underground!
Im looking for something to get the grey matter working...

Im open to suggestions really!

Thanks again and i look forward to more replys

Cheers Jason
