I am a member of another CAMS affiliated club, Won't give them any advertising here cause im sick of them, 2 years and i still dont recieve mail-outs or Membership Card. I will be joining SAU in August when my current membership runs out. QUESTION IS does this membership cover me for tomorrow!? If so ill be there, racing...

If I decide not to work in the rain or infact walk to the job and get wet then be expected to work on electrical equipment and tell my foreman that it's to risky what do you think would happen? I KNOW They tell you to get f**ked... it works both ways people, thats why we have union and safety reps on the job to say when it ok or not, some SS do the wrong thing and get a bad name and some good SS do the right thing yet still get a bad name... I have worked in countrys were it is against the law to be a member...or even start a workers union...this certain country has similar construction death rate to that of singapore... we could all go on for hours.. Safety, Unions.....

yeh

SG population is at about 4.5mil victoria about 5mil SG construction deaths 154 victoria less than 15 safety and the union and the rain and being an electricain is all relevent. water and electricity don't mix. if my feet/shoes are wet and i have to do electrical work I DON"T

Only 24 deaths last year which was pretty good for SG 154 deaths over the last 5 years tho also to add to that Victoria went for 14 months DEATH FREE in the Construction industry until yesterday when "A man aged in his late fifties died yesterday (wednesday) at Pakenham when a concrete slab toppled and hit him on a building site. It was Victoria's first work-related death in the construction industry in 14 months" RIP

Only 24 deaths last year which was pretty good for SG 154 deaths over the last 5 years tho

no ones answered my question yet How many people have died in construction in the last 5 years in Singapore compared to Victoria...?

His balls were on the line for the project? you mean his JOB was on the line.... our balls....our lungs....our safety...our lives... is at times comprimised due to the Project Managers pressure that they apply on our foreman....

You know what I mean by 40 hours a week 36 bla bah bla, its been so long since Ive worked less than a 56, paying of my car/mods. Asbestos is not always found before you commence the work, no matter how many checks have been done, we have had clearance many times and then found issues with asbestos, I was just pointed out that I have been exposed like many others. I have also had dodgy plasterers and chippys cutting up mdf around me, you don't always notice whats going on until after you have had exposure, but trust me when we find out about it....well sounds like you know. ATM im having a break from construction, and out here on the small maintance/installation jobs gives you a real reality check, foreman and leading hands under the pump....safety? whats that? Not an easy job teaching these guyz about it, and telling them where to stick it. As for letting my etu rep know, I have been a SS in the past, have done the training and am still very much involved in union issues. Cheers Brother.

I don't want to start a keyboard war or anything, but working in construction industry for the past 6 years I have seen many injurys (due to pressure to get the job done) I have also encounted asbestos and have been exposed to it on a lot of jobs, also simple dust (concrete etc...) thats kicked up and breathed for 40 hours per week such dust easliy causes lung conditions like emphysema. This is why we have some of the allowances because construction workers have a proven shorter lifespan than an average office worker that is not exposed to these conditions.

cant be f**ked driving down to chaddy so wanna meet maccas? bell st... 945am
