Welcome to scaffs forum fella
Just ask ma to sew extra Padding (Guard) inside work shirts shoulder area, or carry a hessian Sack with you,and place on shoulder as support for any intended heavy thingammys.
Dont overload your shoulder as you might be on compo within the week.
Ensure you've received Instructions by competent person via Toolbox Talk on Manhandling Techniques.
Failing that shoulder Pads are available in sports shops that cater for American Footballers PPE.(Poofs)
Please do not think my comments are in any way sarcastic, but with you just starting out on the Scaffs Path expect a lot of stick coming your way
from senior workmates.

Welcome to the Scaffolding Industry mate....
There is no easy way around it, your just going to have to take the pain till you break your shoulder in so to speak, should be no problem after a few weeks.

What the f*ck next, I thought that the hi-via kilt was the line in the sand, however, I was wrong…WTF, pads are for pussies…do like your Bro Scaffs has had to do before you, take the pain, it build up stamina and it will get you familiar with breaking the pain barrier…
I got no beaf with extra ppe build in for the specific HOZOPS Tasks, but a pad on your shoulder, f*ck sake you,ll be walking around like Qasimoto…na na this is gan too far PMSL…
Take the pain, march or die...
