Very simply, as I've posted on this forum previously. Why aren't the young scaffolding trainees taken through to the NVQ level 3 or advanced saffolder level as part of their training ( weather it's at 19 or 26 years old) if they gain the experience necessary to attain the grade.It's really got my back up this one. I recently got the schedule for the training course for one of my trainees and on it were the times and dates for the part one and two courses, there was also the schedule (as a trainee) for his part three course, but as the citb rep informed me he wont be eligible for the advanced course. So if he already knows this, why is it in the information pack to start with?. I've just paid around £1300 for one of the chaps to go on his advanced course at Bircham Newton, it's not so much the price of the course that gets my back up, but the fact that I think it should be part of the training programme from day one.Like I said at the start of my (very simply) it just stinks of (we'll train the young people of the industry to the best standard possible).Is what we get for our trainees really the best possible training?.

Steve I will ask
 
Ian,

Please ask why the people who dream up best practice spend all their efforts on policing scaffolders instead of the people who cause the problems.

In my experience 75% of incidents are caused by interference by other trades.

Why not set up a course on this.

After consideration feck em and stand by yoiur guns a man who's spent time on the spanners is worth 20 suits:D

The SCCR is probably one of the best things/ turning points for the industry. Experienced scaffolders are always going to be an improvement on university office based suits. Thats not a dig just plain fact.

I agree totally Ian.
 
The scaffolders have made the industry not nasc theve just destroyed it
and stolen from the workers there empire is crumbling people starting to
realise what they really are move over nasc and make way for the sccr.
 
Your not the only one that would like to be in that meeting. Fortunately I answer to no one individual.I do things to the best of my ability/ knowledge and have to find new best practices/ regulations best I can, as there is no industry wide authority that informs us as and when they are introduced.Would that not be the best way of working things so that all are informed, not just the ones who's faces fit??.
 
You lads at the front turning the spanner are the key factor in the industry, the main thing is stick together and use the sccr to voice your opinion, the key point being speak out and be heard your voice is whats needed, otherwise you may as well bend over and take it like a brickie :eek:
 
Like a brickie. Oh yes, side by side, one on top of another and a load of siht in between....
