What industry do you do this installation work in? Highly regulated or house basher? Safety critical? oh wind ya neck in ! both actually although not a house basher thanks! very much better & high end developer , anything electrical is highly regulated and always safety critical!

DavidFrance Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Another collision because of Greenhill Ave/Greenhill main Rd ? Let's keep it civilised. Planner 1 is in a difficult position and I admire him for his participation in this and similar debates on the Forum. I don't agree with all he says and as a former Municipal Affairs reporter on Morning Telegraph and Radio Sheffield I have great scepticism about the workings of local government....and about ten times more since the present administration handed over to profit-taking private companies.....but he speaks from the heart and doesn't deserve flak. What I would say, having disclosed my antecedents, is that I have very little faith in the local media who, in the past, would have carried a torch for stories such as this.

cgksheff Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Ultimately, the only person responsible for this accident, is one of the drivers. Probably the on turning across the flow of the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK understood, so neither highly regulated nor safety critical, so no involvement with the level of design and documentation and regulation in such industries.

What I would say, having disclosed my antecedents, is that I have very little faith in the local media who, in the past, would have carried a torch for stories such as this. Regarding the standard of work carried out by the aforementioned private companies on behalf of SCC. From what I’ve seen it’s usually poor. I watched the road re surfacing a few years ago and it was in no way a proper re surface. The plane was set to take probably 50mm off the gutters while just bouncing around the crown of the road. Then a quick sweep and the tarmac was laid. That’s why it’s already knackered. The decent homes program had wildly varying standards of work depending on the contractor and their subbies. Most recently the roofing debacle springs to mind. I watched Jennings roofing as they did the remaining council houses on our estate. They didn’t even bother to de nail the timbers properly so the new felt was being ripped even as it was being laid. The crappy stick on flashing is currently flapping about as I write. I spoke with a couple of roofers working for Keir and they told me they thought they would be out of a job when the contracts were originally handed out. Turns out they’ve never been busier fixing jobs that have already been paid for. My conclusions are that the council handed out contracts with ridiculously short guarantee periods and will now be paying again for ongoing repairs until the end of time. Also many years ago I did work for Leeds city council and they would randomly send out the Clerk of Works to check we were working to the appropriate standards. Does SCC even have a Clerk of Works or are they naively relying on self certification? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
