Devise a tool box talk that can be given outlining the problems associated with incomplete or altered scaffolding (emphasising the number of fatalities industry wide as a result of falls from height). Outline the disciplinary aspects of non compliance with the site rules. Get a pro-forma signed from all the companies that the information has been passed on to all the workforce. You might want to ban all scaffold items from any other use on site other than scaffolding and make it a non conformance to have in your possession, or use, scaffolding items. Once you're set up and confident that the message is out there and no one can say they have not been informed bladder the next person in non compliance. ban them from site for a week (or sack them) and go the full mile in a letter to their company. This usually does the trick. Peter
