“The COTS training serves as a fantastic introduction into the scaffolding industry for new starters, as well as a good refresher for those who have been around scaffolding for a few years.
This course gives me a chance to share my own experiences of being on site. From starting out fresh faced at 18 in the petrochemical/nuclear power industry as a scaffold labourer and then on to be a trainee scaffolder. To then working my way up to basic scaffolder, advanced scaffolder, scaffold supervisor, then eventually a site manager!
We always get a really good mixture of delegate experiences on the CISRS COTS training. I always actively encourage those who are on for refresher training to share their own on-site scaffold experiences too.
I have a vested interest in making sure all new starters feel fully equipped to begin work in the scaffold industry and ensure that they get off to a safe start.
As well as the theory side of things, we spend as much time as possible in the practical area. Talking through the various components, using the two scaffolds we have built in our facility, as well as the practical methods of manual handling and tying knots. This part always makes me miss being out on site. There really is no experience like it!”
