a scaffolder
Robin Davis is a scaffolder.
What does he do? What is his job like?
bd | love my work. First thing every
morning we talk over what we
have to do. There may be plans
to follow, if it’s a difficult job.
People’s lives depend on us
getting things right.
We're part of a team. It’s like
playing football, but, instead
of passing the ball, we're
passing the scaffolding tubes
to each other. Often we work
in groups of three.
You're active when you're
building scaffolding, It’s like
being a runner or a dancer. You're using your body
all the time and it feels good. You learn all the right |
moves, like how to keep your back straight when |
you lift things. It keeps you really fit.
