Introduction to the
Scaffolders Confederation for Consultation Rights

The S.C.C.R has been set up to provide another voice in the Scaffolding Industry. The general consensus appears to be that the current industry bodies are not representing the Industry as a whole.

Our aim is to provide a link between Health & Safety issues, Training guidance & technical development. This will be achieved by consultation within these areas.

The S.C.C.R. has already made head way with direct consultation with the HSE. The plan is to hold three main meetings each year. Our Health & Safety Development Officer will have direct contact with the people who set the regulation & legislation that we have to comply to. This will be achieved by a sub committee formed from experienced scaffolders & consultants in the current climate.

The main focus that brought about the formation of the S.C.C.R. was an issue with ECITB scaffolders. These scaffolders were under the impression that their card deemed them qualified for life. Now the CISRS have removed this ticket & told experienced scaffolders they no longer have a living unless they go back to basic training & spend between £1,500 to £4,000 on training costs & lost wages!!

We are calling for an over haul of the training system for the following reasons.
1/ Its attendance only.
2/ Timescales to qualifications is too short.
3/ Not enough on site assessments
4/ Unfair system on entry when you have experienced scaffolders.

To undertake this task we have a Training Development Officer. As with the HSE side he will set up a sub committee. Currently the S.C.C.R is trying to set up meetings with the CITB & the CISRS.

Future projects are to set up an Elite membership that will be targeted at the large Construction companies to allow our Elite members to become preferred suppliers. These companies will have to follow current legislation & best working practices & the S.C.C.R. will audit them in order to back them.

Another project which we are looking at launching is a charity side to helping out of work scaffolders. This would include the ECITB scaffolders, we will try & raise money to help them through qualifications. This would be done by way of part grant & part loan. The loan side would only be paid back once the Scaffolder was in a full time job. Then this money would go back into the pot to help the next man in trouble. This is going to take time to set up & if we only manage to help a few people it would be worth it.

The S.C.C.R. is still new & will take time to get into shape, with the committee we have in place I know it will work. The web site is on its way, we have a registered address & an e-mail contact, land line to follow. All correspondence will be posted on the forum under the Committee for Consultation Rights section which will soon just read S.C.C.R.

We are now taking membership e-mail your details to sccr@sky.com

We will then send you the appropriate membership from via e-mail.

Chairman

If you need a reason to join then back our newest committee member the Legend Mr Garry Adams.

As of today Admin has stood down due to the forum working so well, I asked Garry to take over Promotions Secretary & he agreed, He has been seconded.

Anyone disagreeing with this, needs to post it within 24hrs.
