i have recently gone back to a firm doing street work and site work after being on powre stations and such like and i have to say that were do site gaffers and other managers of small projects get off on talking to scaffs like they do!!! do they still not realise that if not for us the entire construction on their sites would come to a grinding halt,and that we are still the worse paid and hardest working trade.this is to all you so called site agents who think that anyone can put scaffold up .....RAM IT....
treated so badly

100% agree.
Thats one of my problems too ---> AND pet hates.
'So-called' Supervisors and Site Managers who think they can take the f.ucking piss and talk to me like shiit...?
Not gonna happen - Especially not when i put my boot up their arse.
No Scaffolders = No Construction Industry.
One day, we'll be treated like Human Beings again, but i fear it wont be for a VERY VERY long time.
Not unless everyone here in this Forum and in Scaffolding in general join the SCCR and then we can have a united voice and have the unified strength to make a difference.
Join the SCCR and make a stand!!!

True. Also do that a wry smile & be polite,coz when they expect you to kick-off. And when you don't,it totally ruins their little power trip.Try quoting rules and regs to them.......soon shuts them up.

Do you know what you're absolutely right. I've had problems on one site where the suits have no idea what they are talking about, and came over to me demanding I clip on, while stood on a fully boarded and handrailed lift! I shut him up because I knew what the regs were and he didn't.
Every time I go on that site now I take my pocket copy of SG4 with me so I can slap him in the face with it when he comes moaning again :evil:
