To be fair to cozzy and the other agency recruiters on here it must be a thankless task.
Men not turning up for work, clients promising long runs of work that doesn't materialise and to cap it all angry scaffs ringing up trying to get paid.
Wonder why anyone would go into that line of work instead of getting some honest graft.
 
The agencies are slowly working their way onto the industrial sites and blatantly ignoring the NJC agreement. Blue book will be a thing of the past in a year or so time. Also if you work through an agency even though it may be for a short period are they considered as your employer and if so how many provide any form of training, PPE.

We don't provide training because I only employ qualified scaffolders and as for ppe I can't have a office full of harness boots and hard hats where would I sit lol seriously you all think that a agency are creaming it and making money left right and centre I thought the same till I came and worked for one honestly you couldn't be further from the truth

But as an employer you have a duty under the health and safety at work act to supply PPE. Do you supply risk assessments and method statements and if you employ more than 4 people do they get a copy of a health and safety policy. Just because you are an agency doesn't mean you can break the rules.

no,they don't don't have to supply ppe as it's temporary work.
i've not got a problem with agencies as it's temporary work and you've got a couple that post on here that do pay decent rates for the short time they're offering the work for.
problem is your getting more and more descending on the industry and you get the impression they're pushing the idea(onto companies) that going through them for recruitment is the only way.
if you read through the hays/heathrow and read through the recruiters post he says,"By the time a 50k contracts manager wastes 2 weeks recruiting men, for half of them to let him down, he is better off getting someone like me to do all that and eliminate the problem..."so you get the impression the solution to a problem that doesn't exist is being offered.
he also says this"The sad truth is that if there weren't so many morons masquerading as skilled labour, the industry would be in much better shape and the quality of work an rates would go up..."
aren't they adding to the problem of skilled labour as you'd guess blokes new to the game that haven't got a lot of experience or contacts that have been coming out of training centres over the past few years are heading straight into agency work and not being in that continuity of work and learning the job.
you also have to blame some of the firms as well.look at the thread not long ago for harsco via an agency on scunthorpe.how could a company that size expect an agency with probably 6-12 people working there be competent to fully man up a shutdown?
like i've said no problem with them and the point where it's sold as the temporary solution it's how it's slowly starting to creep in as the only solution.

Mobile/agencyworkers
27In some industries,particularly those where mobile and agency workers are
engaged under a contract ofe mploymen t(such as contrac tmaintenance workers
or building workers) the site operator maybe better placed to providethe
appropriate PPE than the mobile worker’s employer or theagency. Although under
these circumstances the mobile worker’s employer or agency does noth ave to
repeat the provision of suitable PPE, it is still their responsibility yto ensure that
suitable PPE is provided.Similarly,the site operator may inpractice take the
action necessary to meet the requirements of the Regulations,but the mobile
worker’s employer or agency still remains responsible for ensuring that this has
been done
