done the asbestos course 4 times , at the end of the day its pretty pointless . scaffs are relying on the asbestos removal guys doing there jobs properly which they very often dont. i know a lot of lads who work in asbestos removal and most of them were put through there courses by the dole . the drink and drugs and not giving a fook culture stays with them.

i have mate but so have lots of scaffs who havnt done the asbestos training. iv been doing a lot of asbestos work lately and the asbestos lads all agree it can be done safely but isnt . pressure on them to get the job done etc . do you believe they go through the full clean/dirty trailer every time they need a p!ss
i can see your point ian but years ago we worked down richborough powerstation down the kent coast although we had a superfacefit mask:embarrest:we were covered in it working on the ductings the birds used to make nests with it god knows how much blow across the fields into the local villages when the wind got up and thats not the only industrial powerplant thats near residence the bloody stuffs everywhere mixed in with all the other dust thats built up in the plants over the years

No i don't believe allan, the fact is though that if you cannot categorically prove that there is no asbestos present in the building your about to put the tie into your employer is breaking the law. Not only that he is potentially putting your life at risk as well as your families when you walk into your house in contaminated clothes. Now I know we've all done it in the past , for the simple fact our employers never made us aware. The question is how many scaffolders are at risk from previous mistakes
i worked for sgb 20 plus years a go and we were all aware and had medicals and trainning
on the asbestos dangers you know yourself ian on the stations its permit this permit that you cant fart without a permit most pipes are lagged with aspestos the ones that are removed have aspesdos free printed on them. must be employees breaking the law every day on the street mate. more inportant hope you got payed double time today ian.
