Any recommendations??

Hi spannerman,
I did a very similar but I was out of the construction industry completely for 14 years and suddenly needed a job fast so I phoned a number and got a start on a large site (this was back in 2009 when there was more work about). When I left there were no harnesses or double handrails!! so I had to pick up on the safety stuff pretty quick, but I did fine and was on the tools for a couple of years so it can certainly be done if you get the right type of firm. As you say, it's not rocket science, your already in the industry so I would say it's certainly achievable .
 
What the feck has whiskey got to do with it????


Cant stand it........ give me a brandy, that'll do, cheers all
 
How very dare you, the Bowmore is pure nectar you Luddite.:laugh:
 
Mick Pray your forum friend BF gets church job. Might give you a start. Doesnt your boss know he has to supply ppe.

Right lads, help me or slate me!! Ive had it all today so i dont give a S.H.I.T.

After being on the tools i was a supervisor for 5 years and have been in management for nearly eight years, now I have to work for a right asshole of an MD
He wont supply gloves to the lads.
The harnesses are out of date
The money is target and the lowest in the area, hence all the good lads have left and I am left with a bunch of idiots, only yesterday I went to site and had to stop one of them basing out on THERMALITE BLOCKS, sleeves in same bay and the front of the house was 4" lower than the back, feck me it's not rocket science is it? Both are part 2 and been doing it 15 years plus!!!!!!!!

RAMS are down to me---NO Training
NO supervisor or management training what so ever even our S/O has told him we need training course's.

Gave him this months figure's and he moaned that's not enough so my reply was IF YOU RENEWED the chapter 8 certs I wouldnt have had to GIVE away 3 decent jobs:mad:

So whats the question I hear you ask?

Well I am seriously thinking of going back on the tools, can walk into a job tomorrow and even earn more!! Will my body take it after pushing a pen for the last 12 years or so

Can you put up an 8x8 tower without it falling over spannerman? If you can you have no place in management and should go back on the tools.

Sounds like an accident waiting to happen,if it was me i would take the job offer and walk,all the best what ever you decide.
 
go for it mate,i was off tools full time for 14 years,it hurt like f>>k for afew weeks but i can massage the job for my benefit & not for some tit.good luck!.
 
Tell the MD you need to get on the tools for a few days to sort these lads out and then you will know if your past it or not , personally i cat stand office work bores the life out of me and i always find my self more tired after a day in the office

Good one Phil, although when we were busy I still kept my hand in at weekends but obviously that aint the same as doing 7 days a week.
