Remember on a power station all other trades got height money us scaffs did'nt cause it was classed as our job, so we negotiated and they compromised an gave us the money but called it scratch money on account of the itch from the lagging, happy days then.

To use as guard rail Tomp?

Grum

nah skip drivers dont like to be used as handrail they think its boring just being attached to the standards all day! ha ha!

ive used beams a few times for handrail mainly in long runs of edge protection though but that was a couple of yeras ago now after being told to by our boss, no good though when you need them two days later!
 
So which is right 1265mm or 1000mm to top of handrail? Cant the HSE add up or something?
