Beams up right way?

I totally agree Steve......a whole load of codswallop bleating about what can't be done.........& FA about what can be done!!?? In every professional role or industry, criteria on how to adjudge competency, skills & abilities are set. Doctors, Accountants, Solicitors......SCAFFOLDERS even! Apparently not scaffolding design engineers though!? Absolute rubbish!!

In my opinion if you are working in the scaffolding installation business, without the brain capacity to work out the difference between span beams being in compression or tension........go get a driving job! If you allow a 2-day inspection course attendee to show you yer own arse in a technical debate.......then your CiSRS course was a waste of money & time because you learned nowt!.....get a job cleaning wheely-bins, you may cope with this task better!

If you consider yourself nothing but a "lowly scaff" that needs your hand holding over every decision needing to be made like:- "which way up does this beam go? Or how do I pull test this drilled anchor?" Then you are an embarrassment to every Advanced scaffolder that put on his spanners..........go flip burgers at.McDonalds you waste of skin & leave the scaffolding to real men!:eek::D

ow forgot all advanced carded scaff were born with a spanner in their hands

i think 99% of lads know the diffrence between compression and tension not all know which way round a beam should go and if a beam is designed to produce max strenth 1 way or the other then when sailing it out surly it would then have to be inverted maby you could shed some light on this with you been a goldie come on please do tell which way a beam should go when its not been bridged and is sailed out coz i still havent got the answer and am just a petty red card who should be clean bins :idea:

Why do people openly say you can mix different manufactured parts and its ok,you read posts on here and its very worrying.Regular posters who dont know the facts !!!
