Started a new site the other day and the amount of paperwork involved prior to starting was absolutely mental.
Site agents calls and wants us there a day earlier than originally booked in for.
As it's a new company and we aim to please we oblige.

We get there and the site is a total **** tip, bricks, blocks, timber and everything all over the place. All this after I had given the lads a tool box talk on belt and braces stuff for this particualr firm.

We had to wait around for over a hour for them to clean it up before we could even get the wagons in. Scaffs getting restless as they do and itchy feet to get going.

Once it was cleared and the usual inductions done etc. we were off. Get round the corner where we had to start and a brickie is there laying bricks. We had to wait again for him to finish before we could start.

The lads got going and during the few hours we were there one of them knocked this wet brickwork with a tranny. We put it right and owned up to it to the brickies.

Today we get an email with a non conformity ticket in it for me to sign. What a total load of ******** this game is getting. Brickies want you there before the mortar has dried then bellyache when it gets knocked. Proper ticks me off this as we have our gear cut, bent, nicked abused, nails through boards etc, etc, and yet the slightest thing we do we get this *****!

Rant over!
 
Nothing more satisfying than turning a manky board over a brickie's nut.
 
You can already see where the pecking order runs on this site. However forewarned is forearmed. When you are confronted with things like dangerous access etc report it, photograph it, record any time lost. If the job goes sour down the line you will have collated your delay and disruptions to counter any claims made.

Binthere, fortunately I did already do that mate before we started as I was preempting trouble down the line. Noticed the said brickies have already knocked 6 inch nails into the hire firms boards they have taken off the trestles for their profiles. Wonder if they will get a non conformity!
 
Unfortunately stone scaffolding you are leaving yourself wide open if block work falls on your men where would your aim to please be then let's say if a none matured concrete block fell onto your man and hurt him unless you say to the site agent that you point blank refuse to jepordise the safety of your own by erecting scaffolding around green walls and you carry on doing so the blame only lays with one culprit and it won't be the site agent
