alterEGO Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I pay to be in an inspectorate therefore I use the inspections as an opportunity, from tapping him for who's doing what, whats new, what could we do better etc etc. I cant see the point of paying their fees only to be obtuse. URNs simple as. I agree with Pete but for some its just about URNs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb-eye Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 URNs simple as. I agree with Pete but for some its just about URNs. Maybe this is where the problem lies.As an example all our boys just took the CIS H&S test, what a joke! None prepaired for this they all just turnd up and past because everyone knows the scheme is a joke. We have to have these for CHAS and we need CHAS for one customer. Their is no diffrence in my mind between what we did here and what others do for URNs No measure. No competance. No acheivement. Just a badge and a bit of paper that has no serious value to the informed. Customers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You on a half day?Are you agreeing that the SSAIB is a scheme desighned for every moron in the intruder industry that just need a badge for the URN? Are you compareing the two and suggesting its a bit of a piss take? Customers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterJames Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I would agree with you Jeff we have to have CSCS to work on every construction site down this way. Yet it hasnt stopped other contractors having fatal accidents on the construction sites we have worked recently. I think the point of these things is to prove that you're not employing complete and utter morons, and you cant get sued if your employee used the wrong type of ladder if you have trained him not to use the wrong type of ladder. I find decent RAMS and everyone on the job has read the RAMS and signed to say they have and will work to it covers most situations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb-eye Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Ive have been evaluating this topic for years. I conclude that the SSAIB route is the easy route and anyone can get approval. The difference between the two is massive although the implications are small. I concede that to opt for the NACOSS route today is masochistic, time consuming and expensive. After 33 years as a NICEIC full scope contractor I will be dropping this dead in the water as worthless. I will also be looking for a cost saving by opting to subscribe to SSAIB, an organisation I am loathed to support Customers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
