How much are the CORGI/ Gas safe courses in relation to this?, Do sparkies have to do a CPD course, they are more likely to kill people than we are. If they are going to push this through, which they will do, no matter who sign the petition, they need to roll this cpd out across the full construction trade, or its discrimination against our trade, as every other trade have regulations that change.
Sparkies and heating engineers, the need for those lads to do a similar course speaks for it self.
Plumbers, chippies, brickies, plasterers, ground workers are all exposed to manual handling risks, all exposed to potential asbestos and or dust exposure from either chasing channels into walls, or cutting materials, all exposed to potential Vibration White Finger with the tools that they use, i bet you couldn't find a joiner or brickie that could tell you how long they can use a hammer drill for in a single use or there maximum exposure levels for a day.
I know it sounds petty, but that i'm that way out this morning!
Oh and while i'm on one they should also make every cnt that uses a scaffold do a fcking scaffold appreciation course. That will tell them how to load a loading bay with out bending the cnt, how to climb a ladder without winging that the hatch is 'heavy' or the ladder gap is too small, cause they're all fat lazy cnts. How to stack sh1t so it dosen't fall over the toeboard, how to cut bricks, blocks, timber, slates and tiles on something other than cutting right into the a fckin boards. They should also show them what happens when they take out a brace or a tie, by making them stand on the top lift while the job falls over. CNTS. They should also been shown how a brush and shovel works, so they can clean the feckin job before we have to strip it.
I'm going to suggest a name of the T.W.A.T Card for this course
