To be honest none of us are perfect as you well know but your missing the point we need to do it safe , cant just except thats what we need to do to earn our money ! If we cant provide a good save method for passing gear down to the next generation of scaffolders coming thru rather than bombing or catching gear , well we are not doing our jobs right .
This forum is for us to share ideas , help each other out , provide information !
 
Bet 90% bomb fittings on here if you dont then your liars .as for board and tube passing down safe depens on how many men and what sights your on would say 60% of safety goes out the window at weekends or on a job and knock.

We didn't miss the point Paul, we just got a bit nostalgic for the days when bombing was acceptable. Getting gear up or down will always carry a risk no matter what method you use. My preference is hand to hand, other's prefer the rope, the big boys will have mechanical hoists or cranes, but the crux of the matter they all need controlling and managing and if you're nervous all the time you watch your scaffs I would suggest that you do what we all have to do which is get the right men on the right job at the right time with the right resources including a set of rams that they understand and are able to follow. Follow that up with training and toolbox talks to explain what is now no longer acceptable and take appropriate action when any of the above is not followed.

Three pages on the best way to pass gear down? Really?
 
We managed 10 on regional dialects not long ago.

if you read section 10 and 11 of the WAHR in section 10 "Falling objects" it says that an employer must take steps to insure to prevent any person being struck by an object that could cause injury. In the next paragraph 3 it says "no materials or objects are to be thrown or tipped where it is liable to cause injury" In the next section 11 Danger areas , it bangs on about if there is a danger of somebody being hit by falling objects in the danger area you are supposed to stop people entering this area and the area has to be clearly indicated. You could argue then , that if you're dropping gear down to the floor, as long as you have a controlled area and there is no risk of anybody being hit, its ok to drop materials ? does this mean then if you have a controlled area you can drop materials. Recently on a course I was on the instructor said as much to us. I won't mention where or when.
 
never mind passing down gear I like pissing down gear especially when the Labrador bn flickin it off in the thunder box far to long to av a shyte lol
 
Funny you mention the ol thunder box scc, we once used two straps off a wagon and strapped one lazy fuuckwit in the flytrap for nearly two hours.....lets just say he never once went back in their.
 
I wouldn't imagine dangeruss as it already says nothing is to be tipped and if your bombing gear you have no control over it.
