Brickguard Alert

[scaffoldingsafetyservices]

It has been brought to our attention that a supplier in Sheffield has been phoning around companies telling them that the existing brickguards are illegal. You must invest in this new product, which in turn this person is manufacturing.

As far as im aware there is nothing set in stone about this. I would imagine that the next version of TG20 will have something in it due to these people abusing their roles within the governing body to line their pockets.

It never ends . These are called BRICKGUARDS and the aim of there purpose is to stop BRICKS going through it.
Anything smaller then this is where NETTING or SHEETING is used.

Huh... :suspicious: well as we all know legislation, corruption and money all go hand in hand.

NASC Guidance SG10:08 - Requirements For Use of Brickguards:-

'The type, method of fixing, load bearing requirements and positioning of brickguards are subject to the risk assessment prepared by the user or person who controls the way in which any construction work is carried out'

 

[simian]

All brickguards should be subject to a load test to be fit for purpose

[daffy]

There was a story going round that a certain plastic brickyard didn't conform and was illegal.
I know this cos when we were assessed for our latest NASC audit about 3 months ago, the guy that came round to inspect the sites and our yard (who knew sod all other than statistics) showed us a new brickyard that he just happened to have in the back of his car.The cheeky ******* was going round working for NASC auditing companies, and promoting someones new plastic brickyard that he was getting a bung off.If we weren't so concerned about making sure we got our accreditation, I would have shoved it up his arse.Must admit, they did look ok though.

Plastic brick guards are fab. I have spent many a time trying to seperate two metal ones or even worse a whole bundle of the cu.nts.

Only prob with the plastic ones is the hooks tend to fall off easily.

 

[dico]

i know its a little more work and boards but why not just toe board to the top of the handrail got to be cheaper than brick guards and stronger or is it the strongbow talking for me lol!!

 

[frederik]

Yea! Good one Dico,:idea:and if you take boards all the way up,no need for Monaflex.:toung:
