what i need to get on new build only??

[andrew95]

hello I have recently left college with a Level 3 Electrotechnical Technology diploma at grade PASS. I have about 5months experience on site working as an apprentice but I really want to work on new build properties only due to my fear of asbestos. any advice on me getting onto new build and will I need to enhance my electrical qualifications or will a level 3 do it?? thanks!!

Haha it comes with its pros and cons. Although I've just worked 2 80 hour weeks on shutdown and I'm still smiling

What do you expect for shutdown?

You’ll be happy when you get paid.

in your dreams, essex boy. why should we bring our advanced culture and technology to somewhere it takes a man more than 5 minutes to decide whether to have a cocktail or a girly lager? :smilielol5::smilielol5::smilielol5::smilielol5:

You mean somewhere you can sit next to the pool on your day off with a cold glass of continental lager or Sangria, turn to the wife every few minutes and say "this is the life. Yep, best decision we ever made, moving out here"?

Right now young un, up you go into the loft.

 

[Knobhead]

Trev! You can’t send you’re grandson up there (yet).

If I have my way (which I probably won't) the only time he'll see the inside of a loft will be when he's climbing up there to get the christmas tree out

 

[Knobhead]

He’ll be OK under the floorboards though.

Give him another year or so Tony.

So if your scared of asbestos, will you hate me if i tell you you are probably breathing levels of it in when you walk down the street on a daily basis?

Get on a course and use some common sense. Its really not scary stuff and will only do you damage if your complacent and think it can't hurt you. Its not going to jump out at you and hurt you when your not looking but its also not something to just ignore.

I've been thinking about this and I've made a decision, I only want to work in places where all forms of containment come premade and assembled because I'm a bit scared of getting cuts, I'd like all cables to be pulled in for me because blisters can really hurt.
I don't want to be making any more SWA off because those hacksaws are dangerous and pyro is out of the question from now on because we all know how sharp it gets when you're stripping it.
All terminations must be made as I get bored easily and we can forget testing because, well it's just a chore.
I can't be doing with intruder alarm work either because those tiny little cables are fiddly.
Now, who would like to employ me
