Environment
CPET (Central Point of Expertise on Timber, www.
proforrest.net/cpet) is a government directive stipulating
that only timber from legal and sustainable sources can be
used on government funded projects. The use of legal and
sustainable timber is also a condition of many contracts
from main contractors. These directives are just starting
to impact on the access industry. John Brash has full Chain
of Custody with FSC and PEFC accreditation. Wherever
possible John Brash scaffold boards are individually labelled
using ink jet printing with our chain of custody details.
