Part 2 Not allowed to do Pull test !

but why though,nasc is a parasitic entity creating issues,safety scaremongering in order to justify its own existence,i genuinely believe their should be a body to represent the industry and i do believe you have joined and our a member with the best of intentions but

who convinced you that the right thing to do was to pay for info on safety which some of the time is not the govn safety advice but the private company that works for its own interests,

your a quandry for me mate,you seem like a bloke who respects the guys that works for him,takes pride in your jobs,and is open to change and new policies and regs

why the fook cant you see nasc for the great satanic donkey fuker it really is lol :D


i had to spoil it ;)

haha Joe, I like to keep em guessing.

I get fed up listening to the moaning about them with no real knowledge to back it up is all. No one had to coerce me into joining, they are the trade body and I wanted to be part of it, simple as that really. Your opinions do not reflect my experience in the 8 years I have been a member. It would be nice for a couple of others to stick their head above the parapet to give their views.
 
two things will make my sore fingers since i started this thread worth it,

1 Training Providers giving pull test training from part 2 courses

2 AOM on youtube burning his nasc membership like its gary glitters holiday snaps :D
 
I've wrapped mine up in my fire retardant thong.;)

Another thing I would say in my defence is the nasc is not the be all and end all for information, there are other sources like the link I posted earlier to the construction fixing association who offer free down loads to those of us interested in the real reason for this thread.;)
 
Aom, think you missed my point. My attitude to-wards the scaffolding industry is with the most respect and to people like your self sat on a computer at 11.20 at engaging others is great but how can you have the nasc only interested in the players that pay ?
They should have people out there contacting the smaller firms,sending them info etc without the cost.
I spent a lot of years in the office for big company's and know the way the world works and also sit at this comp every night doing paperwork for a lot of smaller firms helping them with tenders,msra and all the rest of it so spoon fed is not what its about.
All i was trying to say it that information about the scaffolding industry should be available to everyone and not just a CLUB !
 
And who is going to pay for that information to be collated and recorded? I don't think I missed your point Max I just totally disagree with it. I do think helping one another is great, I have been on the receiving end of more than my fair share through this site but equally have spent a bit of the night pming others with help, so is the way of the world. I have heard this time and time again that wee firms should be kept in the loop, but I was a member with one other scaff and a labourer so why can't they?
 
The Hilti rep has just left and coming back later to train a couple of bodies in the safe use of a tester and an IW, can't wait.:(
 
full breakdown of cost time and difficulty would help the cause;) show how ridiculously easy it is and bring shame on the training providers for sending us out there with this loophole hanging around bloke necks,,,,,,did that sound to che guevarra ? ;)
 
Maybe a wee bit. The cost is zero, nada zip but they will get it back when they sell me another tester as mine looks to be getting a bit bashed about, 2005 it was bought and only ever went back annually for calibration but after checking it this morning it seems the gauge has seen better days.

He is also heading away to speak with technical about the IW furore, might get a wee bit help there as well.
 
haha, thought you might have liked that. Don't kid yourself though Joe, these guys give nothing for nothing, they want to sell me another IW and disc cutter, they also want me to change to their fixings but at the moment they are too expensive unless they can prove the performance is in line with any additional cost. It's just a sprat to catch a mackerel, as BF would no doubt say.

Hi Neil,

I could have done with you on so many occasions but sorted now.

If you scroll down the pages a bit you will see a new member section for introducing yourself. There is also another section for advertising your business, which I'm sure will be of interest to a few.

What's your company name and where are you based?

Oh, and welcome to the forum.

Max, I share your sentiment and enjoy your site. My only problem is you get nothing in this life for nothing. these guidance notes are paid for by me and my like why should others get them for free?

I know this will put the cat amongst the pigeons but what else do you get worth having in this life for nothing?

This might help though.



the Construction Fixings Association

This is what the fixings association say about shear Alan.


Shear
In calculating the applied shear load the possibility of shear loads from two sources must be considered i.e. horizontal loads in the
lateral direction and vertical loads. Where this is the case they should be combined to give one resultant shear load and this used
in the selection process.
Recommended shear loads are published by the manufacturers for most anchors in concrete but few quote values in other
materials. Shear testing on site is possible but generally impractical. For significant shear loads into materials other than concrete
refer to the manufacturer.

aom . all i am saying is you can test it with a pull tester . i have seen it and done it.im not sure of the rules and regs on it but it can be and is done. mark clarke was the first to show me it. the main thing it was for was tieing scaffold to the nfloor slab when there was no other way.i have seen it done on ajob that came straight off beams drilled to the wall. you can test it
