Meeting started with a presentation by Simon Hughes Simian Risk on SG4 2010.
Following this there was a 30 minute question & answer session.
• Chairman’s Report. Summary of the scaffoldersforum & the formation of the SCCR from this. Scaffolders voice as well as being able to help companies move forward with current changes in legislation.
• The ECITB issue was raised & the meeting was informed of a case number being issued by the DBTI.
• Training Report . This mainly concerned the CISRS scheme & the apprenticeships. This subject will be followed up with a meeting with Mr Dave Mosley in November.
• Information to non members of the NASC is very poor on changes to working guidelines & legislation.
• Health & Safety Report. Advanced rails was the main topic along with the effects from the use of the step up device & the wearing & safe rescue with harnesses.
