[baboon]

we should have representative from our community go and put our feelings across.they are ******* idiots,they cant do a normal days work like us lot so they stick there beek in and make our life difficult by giving clueless ideas,and incompitent decisions.and they actually get paid for it pricks.

[brandy]

Just another talk shop and the usual suspects get their over inflated tax free expenses to attend.

[celticbhoy]

It would be good if we were all told about any changes within our industry,for as it stands the only ones who seem to get to know about any changes are the NASC members. the rest of us seem to have to pick the pieces from what is leaked out,I mean, how many members of this forum were told about double handrails when they came out as mandatory, or the new tie patterns etc. etc.
I think that it should be a mandatory duty for those who claim to have the best interest of our industry at heart to at the very least least tell each and every registered company (they are all available at companies house) about any change to working practices,if only for the very basic safety of all the scaffolders in the country.

[brandy]

Arent the HSE a government body supposed to do that, or is the tail wagging the dog.

[scaffman1]

You would think it was done by someone,but I doubt the HSE. It would make it harder for them to prosecute if we were all on a level playing field.

[brandy]

Scaffman do the HSE not publish a code of practise, the reason I ask is in Ireland the equivelant body HSA ( Health and Safety Authority )do and is available to all.
