Thats the way i was taught to do it years ago,and that was back in the CEU days.
 
Always been done, just a safety thing.
 
Well have to say work offshore with SGB and you could put flat set on a dropper and thats when Bp had there on Scaffolding inspector.... now Iam not saying its was right or wrong not to put a check on the T piece but it is moer of a cosmetic thing in this day and age as the average scaffs weight is around 80 to 130 kgs to be able to climb up and down a droper any way thanks for your input to this post
Regards Old scaff
 
Each to their own Old Scaff but I have never been on a dropper without a check. I'm not that fat but did like the extra security. As a Glasgow man you will remember the man who would put 5 foots in for butts.
 
Have to be careful of names but hopefully it will come back to me
 
33 stone two belts joined together and no check that was a good advert for any scaffold fitting
 
haha, yes that's right. Some great stories.
 
WASTE OF A FITTING
went on the HEATHER PLATFORM 7 years ago when CAPE took it over from DEBORAHS.THE WHOLE UNDERDECK WAS SCAFFOLDED AND NOT AN ABERDEEN OR A CHECK ON THE T PEICE IN SITE.
THERE WASNT AN INCIDENT WITH SCAFFOLDING IN 17 YEARS.

DO YOU CHECK YOUR DOUBLES ON AN INDEPENDANTS NO BECAUSE ITS GOING NOWHERE SO WHY CHECK A T PEICE YOU MADE YOURSELF :eek:
 
Just good practice I reckon but to be honest all the jobs I was ever on would have beached you for not doing it. It's nice to have some security.
 
Remember this we number
Now his brother was a New York Police Sergeant he was involved in some big court case at the the time now he was under a bit of pressure at the time of this case,
He ask the FBI to bring his Big brother over ,now JP was siting in the e house and there was a chap at the door and before you know it JP was on a private jet to the States he landed in JFK and was ushered through customs now bare in mind he was still in his slippers as he had no time to change he is about to get in to a fast car when Frank Sinatra shouts out hey JP I like your slippers
And of he goes to see his bother hows that for a tea time story
 
******** the games fecked because of insurance
thats the reason the oca brought it in
as old scaff mentioned a chinky set is all you need ive done it and it doesnt hurt yer feet like a t peice
im not trying to argue with you aom just my opinion
 
haha, never heard that one before but did like the one when he was listening to some young gun tell all who would listen that your head was a third of your body weight. He must have been a bit slimmer then as his response was to tell him to go home and tell his maw he met a man with a 10 stane heid. :laugh:
