SIS recently partnered with Hickory to deliver a scaffolding workshop for their graduates and cadets, giving the next generation of construction professionals valuable exposure to the discipline and the standards that sit behind it.
The session began with a presentation covering the fundamentals of scaffolding, from system selection through to the compliance requirements that govern safe access on any site. From there the group moved into a site walkthrough, where the theory took shape in a live environment and the detail became something the attendees could see, question and understand in context.
General Manager Douglas and OH&S Manager Wiese were both on hand throughout the morning, sharing the practical knowledge that only comes from years on the tools and across the industry. Investing in graduates and cadets is investing in the future of the trade. Sessions like this give them the grounding to understand not only how scaffold is designed and built, but how it is applied on a live site and as a whole, from office to site and from drawing to live build.
Our thanks to the Hickory team for the partnership. 🔵⚪
