PRESIDENT’S REPORT | NASC YEARBOOK 2012
The NASC has invested very heavily in
creating and supporting TG20. This guide has undoubtedly confirmed the NASC as a serious standard-setting organisation and
While the current commercial environment is, we hope, a temporary problem, the landscape for design and technical support appears to have changed permanently
the authority on scaffolding. But there are problems with this document and as a result we have all faced the frustration of having to produce designs for very simple structures which are well within the competence of our
employees to erect. We need to find a way to curb this waste of cost and effort. The next stage of the development of TG20 has now commenced with the aim of producing a document for the non-technical user which will be supported by software. By providing an easy-to-use guide, accessible to scaffolders and our clients, we hope that we will be able to refocus engineering support back to the complex and more challenging structures.
About Rob Rob Lynch is CEO of Lyndon Scaffolding, a family-owned company that has been trading for over 40 years, and has been a member of the NASC for over 10 years. Rob joined Lyndon in 2000 having worked
previously as a chartered accountant in London. Prior to this he had been only a ‘fair
weather’ scaffolder, greatly enjoying working as a labourer on site during the holidays. This experience did, however, give him a lasting admiration for the intelligence, skill and problem-solving ability that a good scaffolder must possess in order to erect high-quality scaffold safely. Within Lyndon this knowledge is
recognised by the fact that all senior management positions are filled by guys who have come off the tools. After joining Lyndon, Rob immediately took an interest in the NASC and used its guidance notes to advance his knowledge of all aspects of scaffolding. Rob joined the technical committee and held the position of chair for four years. During this time he also sat on the working group which wrote TG20:05 and TG20:08. Rob has been an officer since 2008.
