Bradford Jobs

Believe it or not both these so called scaffolds are on main roads, photo 2 is on the main Keighley road out of Bradford and has been up well over a month Photo 1 is on Galloway Lane. Where are the HSE when you need them
 
I swear to god on tuesday we were doing a job in bradford and on way to the job we saw a scaffold that looked like it was putlog no inside ledger or inside standards, my mate says to me I'm sure that wasn't putlog, So a few hours later on our return we drive past again slowly and F%&K ME its just got the outside ledger and standards with the trannys resting on the stone work few boards here and there no h/rail with bricks stacked on it aswell, I would have taken a pic but couldn't stop the wagon because this was on a busy main rd, I can honestly say it;s the worst scaffold I have ever seen in my life. When I saw this thread I thought the pics were gonna be that scaff,
If I remenber rightly near whetley lane, will get a pic if its still there when we go to strip next week

Not sure I think whetley lane, we came off motorway up the A6177 then up keighley rd towards shipley, I remeber a dodgy roundabout and the job was on our right hand side as you go towards shipley, real shocker you cant miss it
 
I really can't see a scaff building anything like that, that's got to be a brickie with a spanner. To be fair to the second one it looks like it getting stripped and if I'm honest some of our jobs look crap as well when we go back after a couple of months. I keep saying I'm going to take pictures of every job we do just in case but there never seems to be enough time or the camera is sitting in the office.
 
Yeah, 2nd one looks like it's being stripped
1st one isn't as bad as one I saw on main road coming through my village last week or week before. 2 lift independent, no ties or even rakers, no braces on 2nd lift, sway or ledger. Single handrail ! Standards not even in line front and back.
I pulled over and took some pics cuz I was that astonished.
I'll have to wack them up
 
Careful they don't like their washing done in public.
 
Hmmm
I hear what your saying Aom
Dont know how they're getting away with it, it didn't even conform to the old BS regs
All I know is if that was me I'd be fired off down the road before my feet could touch the floor
 
1 man band that have just started up with no gear springs to mind or it could be alpha scaffolding lmao ive had a stint there !!


Careful Keza, there could be a few Alpha lads on this forum, and i know they would not put up anything as rubbish as this
