How did they manage to teach you about sheer testing?
 
he gave me the leaches catalogue and that was hydrAjaws;),

i might be going on a bout this a bit mate but we are held to account on so many issues yet training providers just for one are unbelievably getting away with murder,

by getting blokes in court for pulling them on the fact their jobs not tested,when its them that hasnt trained them on it in the first place,i find that totally morally corrupt and in some way criminal !

and im not thanking allan anymore !

Read it and weep
 
do you think this could be applied to training providers aswell as employers ian,as they are employed to teach us a safe and correct way of erecting/striking scaffold ?

and if so would not including a pull test certification in a part 2, yet telling us we are capable to erect certain scaffolds even though we cant test them
constitute a breach of this law ?

You might have to run that one by me again Alan. I was always told, maybe even on here that you have to be very careful drilling close to another tie as it will weaken them both. I was also told that sheer was difficult to prove on site and as such was done by calculation and design. I have been wrong a lot this weekend and no doubt wrong about the above.
 
haha, the boy's will love reading this. I've never been as wrong all fekin weekend and still can't believe Croatia didn't win the Euro's.:embarrest:

There was no sheer test,it's a pull tester,and as such,was trained to do pull tests;)

The shear factor would be determined by the manufacturer of the fixings according to size,Alistair
