What is to be done ?---are we to accept the status quo ?---what strategy would you adopt ?...
Garry...
Scaffarobo, it's the only way to do it. 3 man gang means your on the deck every 3rd day unless there is something specific to change that.
Gary,
Joint consultation, it's the future. Definitely something for the SCCR to discuss come October. The only man I have seen on here with any connection with the training centre in Renfrew is , it would be nice to hear what he thinks of the situation.

That's true phil but surely none of us are perfect and as scaffs no one is more customer focused and driven than us. If we were to go to the citb with concerns over quality of training the few people I have met would listen. I'm not saying they are in a position to dramatically change things over night but you have to start somewhere.
Phil,
Maybe I am being naive but I don't think anyone has to loose anything. I just think the training could be better, a bit more intense, it would be nice if the young team came back better than when they went away. Somebody some where has obviously sat down and worked out a programme for this training but the boy's could do it in a fraction of the time. I know every one learns at a different pace but I think the time wasted could and should be spent more productively. I feel the place to start voicing any concerns would be with the training centres themselves, they are supposed to be customer driven and as such should at least listen and answer any concerns brought before them.
Yes I totally agree with your points mate. However, that will cost more money, private businesses don't want to spend more money than they need to. Who, esentially controls the NASC? - Private scaffolding contractors.
We'll just go round in circles.
Scaffold Structures are Erected from Mock Building already, Truss out, Shore's ect---Steel Work which then can be used for the purposes of erecting Scaffolds which are prominently found Offshore and or allied Power Generating Facilities would be a good addendum would it not ?.
A very good set of posts there guy's, Garry is it not time to blow the dust off the old 'STOIC draft proposal' again m8?
AOM and Phil very valid sensible points made.
Garry, i agree, our only way forward, is through the SCCR, we tried to do it, just the 2 of us, to no avail. With the SCCR we have the support.
I think I would have remembered that one Gary. Is it regarding training? where is it?

Sent a copy to aom
aom Have you received it and can you open Doc ???
Garry...
Yes grey area again, i beleive that the scaffolder who erected the scaffold cannot tag his own work, he can complete his part of the scafftag, then the scaffold has to be inspected by a third party, the scaffolder is still responsible for all the paperwork that goes before, i would welcome any comments if i am wrong.
