Whenever you do hiring as a roofer, ✅️ have a goal in your mind to remove yourself completely from that particular task once the hire is trained. If you don't have this goal, you won't teach them to solve problems on their own and you'd end up with dealing all the monkeys when you dreamt of closing more roofing deals.. 🐒 Now if you have done all this and still you feel that your team can't handle problems behind your back, then maybe it's time to reconsider your hirings. #roofingcrew #roofingsystems

Following a discussion today with my client, it would appear the issue may be more connected to the gutters than the roof, so a quotation for a rainwater goods survey be may be the best way forward. Even so, a meeting would be helpful to establish the cause of the problem. #gutters

Following the recent lorry loader incident in which a crane collapsed into a residential property, it would be a wise investment to look into whether your lift plans are adequate and suitable. Many scaffolding company's are moving to the use of lorry loaders which is a massive time saver logistically as well as massively reducing manual handling; however, many scaffolding contractors are not aware of their responsibilities under LOLER regarding appropriate planning. In many instances, a generic type lift plan may suffice for typical kerb side deliveries but this cannot eliminate the need to conduct a dynamic risk assessment prior to each lift. For more complex lifts, a more thorough and detail lift plan must be conducted and supplemented by the dynamic risk assessment at the work place. In all situations, the lift plan must be conducted by a competent person and the dynamic assessment must never be just a tick box exercise. Squared Scaffolding Consultancy is able to assist scaffolding contractors with advice and guidance on how to remain compliant with the regulations and make appropriate control measures to minimise any unfortunate situations. The story below shows what can happen when work is not appropriately planned or executed in a safe and controlled manner. More shockingly, the ring doorbell footage shows just how close this incident was to being a tragedy. https://lnkd.in/e66EUgU9

Even on vacation, it is very difficult to pass by scaffolding, it is always interesting how and what kind of scaffolding is built in different countries. It is very pleasant to meet my favorite #Layher scaffolds in different parts of the world. Recently I caught myself thinking that since 2013 I have been associated with scaffolding, 11 years in the scaffolding business and everything is just as interesting as when I first started installing scaffolds. This is probably how it works, you have to love what you do, love your job, show interest in what you do every day. #scaffolds #malta #layher #starteline #scaffolding #vacation Starteline Oy Layher Benelux
