just a word of advice ,tred carefully if you go working in holland for envirowrap,they subbie the work off sgb,and let me tell ya sgb holland safety standards will be nothing compared to sgb uk,you more than likely will get work in the botlek know as a grave yard for scaffolders ive seen two scaffs been killed there,the botlek has massive dry docks were they repair rigs and build them ,it was formerly called verolme it now trades under the name keppel, sgb holland only use cup lock,they love it, they build all ther hangers with cup lock,you will only use tube and fit were ever you cant get cup lock to fit,the dutch can do any thing with that cup lock they will teach ya a thing or two,also most of the guys that envirowrap employ will not even have a scaffold ticket,and 5 out of 10 of the guys would not have even stood on a scaffold,I had a great 10 yrs in holland,if you take a start with envirowrap ,be on full alert at all times
