So does this mean we will be getting more of those client supplied nightmare showers with the telephone and radio, back scrubber, leg scrubber, more jets down each side than you can shake a stick at and hose clamp connections and vaccume cleaner type piping?
 Cheap pan and cisterns with out of round ceramic outlets, Dodgie Chinese tapware with bugger all threading on the nut you tighten them down with (strips) and the clasic of them all a combination shower and sauna when i was called to have a look at this i was floored mainly by the steam generator for the sauna ! Refused to install as no copper waste or trap. if it failed hullo night mare.
 I dont mean to be harsh as the cedar finish looked good but what a piece of utter rubbish from a plumbing perspective they should be shot for letting that into the country.
I guess im not the only one to run across these, must be a few good tales out there anyone?

hi guys, so does this now mean that we can send crap to China instead of importing it. As enn says about those shower cubicles that do everything and that joe public expect them to work with low pressure plumbing, then there is the vanity units that are put together by school children, the c/p waste fitting make me laugh after they have cut the thread there is just about nothing left and of course the trap won`t seal,cheers

Essential Ingredients to Effective Contractor Management
« Reply #4 on: April 12, 2012, 02:36:57 PM »
If you want to effectively manage workplace compliance, you need to manage your contractors compliance. No matter how robust, comprehensive or proven your OHS management systems may be, if you have a non-compliant, or poorly trained, contractor onsite, it could all amount to nothing if an incident occurs. A reliable contractor management system has to be an essential part of any OHS management plan.
