i also have a valid senior construction site manager level 7 NVQ certificate but got out of construction 2yrs ago because H&S has gone too over board.....maybe im old school (not 60yrs)
I believed in making money for the firm, not stopping a job because an operative/ brickie / chippy wasn't wearing his gloves. (ridiculous)
Yes there aren't as many deaths on site as there used to be, but H&S has gone absolutely crazy (too much the other way)
If you got an SMSTS ticket you are classed as a supervisor, yet in most cases no understanding of the daily running - planning ahead etc.....its a bluffers paradise.
