Good to hear from you sir.
Surely it is the case that the standard of tools provided by an employer would be adequately covered by HS legislation? I would also have to emphasise that speed and efficiency will only improve when:
1. Project designs and method statements are written by competent personnel
2. Checks and balances (curatorship) are in place and functional
3. Competent and experienced field staff are available and retained
4. the interests of the finite resource are given equal weight to the interests of the client and,
5. the industry is geared to retain competent, professional and motivated supervisory/directing field staff.It does go without saying that such superb field staff should be rewarded for their output-if not awarded medals for being so damned good despite the current shambles they have to operate in.............
I`ve been lucky enough to have worked alongside some extremely talented field staff recently and yes-we can be fast/professional and outshine optional standards but if- as is ubiquitous- the staff on the ground are not let down by the lack of 1-5 above.
..knowledge without action is insanity and action without knowledge is vanity..(imam ghazali,ayyuhal-walad)
