Scaffolding question tagging jobs?

i was on a job last week ran by a part 1 working with a labourer tagging his own jobs.
i told him he was bloody stupid for doing it. he shouldnt even be working by himself but all the H&S on site say hes doing a good job.
 
No they don't but your fcuked without them, why spend years training and learning to get your tickets become qualified, so a part 1 can run round doing what he wants, do you think the H&S will stand by him if something goes wrong. yeah goodluck pal

Your right Tony, but thats not down to him, he's got to make a living as well, thats down to the site management and according to the original post it was stated they were satisfied with his work, It could be work that his ticket allows him to do and tag.
 
I might be wrong but i thought no matter what card you have , you cant tag your own work ?
 
Part 1's can't tag anything,

Part 2's can tag basic scaffolds

Adv, can tag all jobs

You can tag your own jobs...
 
Pretty certain you can mate... if you got the relevant card to match the scaffold your inspecting/tagging..
 
With the new regualtions of TG20.08 and SG4.10 in action can a competent scaffolder or advanced scaffolder sign the scaff tag?

If so what is the point in doing a inspection or advanced inspection course?

Cost me over £375
It depends on who you work for ? if you want to inspect scaffold for the big firms ie; interserve, cape, hertel or offshore , you must have an advanced scaffold inspection ticket.
 
To Tag, or not to Tag: that is the question:

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous Health & Safety Officers
And spend a couple of years banged up, mayhap
,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
(Join the SCCR)
And by opposing end them?

To die: to sleep; No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That Scaffolding is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished.

To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,

Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long a life of scaffolding

For who would bear the whips and scorns of site agents,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's need of money,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of those in office and the spurns that patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might have a far better solution

To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know are a set of w*nkers

Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is lost with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.

Sorry Will
