In a heartwarming fulfilment of a promise made over seven years ago, SCP Group (Scaffolding and Construction Products Ltd), a global pioneer in construction product solutions, has stepped forward to honour the legacy of the late Nick Flynn by initiating a financial recognition program for his children.
This gesture not only underscores the group’s commitment to its own word but also celebrates the innovative spirit of Flynn, whose invention, the Safelinx Board Retainer system, revolutionised safety in construction.
The late Nick FlynnNick Flynn, remembered for his remarkable contributions to the construction industry, faced numerous challenges in bringing his invention to market.
Despite initial hurdles in marketing and sales, Flynn’s partnership with SCP Group marked a turning point for Safelinx, transforming it from a struggling innovation to a success story. Sadly, Flynn passed away in mid-2017, not fully witnessing the fruits of his labour.

Dylan, expressing his gratitude and pride in his father’s achievements, urged support for Safelinx, highlighting the importance of realising his father’s dreams for the product. “To many people, a seven-year-old promise doesn’t mean much, but it shows the honour and integrity of the group,” Dylan remarked, acknowledging SCP Group’s exceptional commitment.
Rikki, SCP Group’s Financial Director and Dale’s son shared his enthusiasm for supporting Nick Flynn’s children and expressed optimism about future collaborations, mirroring the successful partnership between their parents.
“It’s great to meet Dylan, and I look forward to us potentially working together in the future and being successful just like our parents,” said Rikki.
SCP Group’s act of kindness and commitment pays homage to Nick Flynn’s legacy and sets a commendable example of corporate integrity and compassion.

A prominent work-at-height charity has introduced the pioneering initiative No Falls Week to address one of the most pressing dangers in the workplace. The campaign, organised by the No Falls Foundation, will occur from May 13 to May 17, 2024. Its goal is to highlight the importance of safe working practices for people working at heights, prevent accidents, and ensure the well-being of all individuals involved in such tasks.The statistics surrounding accidents related to working at height are sobering, with both fatalities and non-fatal injuries posing significant risks. It’s estimated that over 1 million businesses and 10 million workers engage in activities involving working at height annually, highlighting the widespread nature of the issue.Falls from height persist as the leading cause of workplace fatalities in the UK, with 40 lives lost in 2022-2023 alone, according to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Furthermore, falls from height accounted for a third of all workplace fatalities last year, indicating a troubling trend.In addition to the loss of life, falls from height also result in a significant number of non-fatal injuries, with over 5,000 individuals reported to have been injured at work in Great Britain in 2022/23 alone. However, underreporting, particularly among the self-employed, likely means the actual number of incidents is higher.Hannah WilliamsHannah Williams, Charity Manager at the No Falls Foundation, stressed the importance of No Falls Week, emphasising the far-reaching impact of workplace injuries from falls.“Everyone who needs to work at height should be able to work safely and return home unharmed at the end of every shift… No Falls Week is an opportunity for everyone to recognise the mental, physical, and societal consequences of working at height accidents.”Employers are encouraged to participate in No Falls Week by signing up on the No Falls Week website, where they can access toolkits and resources provided by the Access Industry Forum (AIF). These resources enable toolbox talks, workshops, safety demonstrations, and social media campaigns to promote work at height safety.To learn more about No Falls Week and participate, visit the No Falls Week Website.

The fallout left over 700 suppliers and subcontractors grappling with unpaid invoices totalling more than £43 million.BCM Scaffolding Services Ltd, along with Bristol’s Scaffteq West Ltd, both part of the Saferise Scaffolding Group, plunged into administration earlier this year. Collectively, they employed over 100 individuals. The internal memo obtained by Scaffmag outlined the financial difficulties faced by the companies attributed to the withdrawal of support from their finance company. Despite anticipated new projects and recent investments, BCM and Scaffteq West found themselves in a precarious position.

In a startling incident caught on a driver’s dashcam video last week in Buckingham, an aluminium mobile scaffold erected in front of a house on a bustling road collapsed, hurling two men into the path of oncoming traffic.
Miraculously, the workers were not injured, and the scaffold was promptly re-erected. The footage below shows a narrow escape for the men as a car swerves to avoid them, while a third worker in shock rushes to assist.
The incident, occurring next to the Grand Junction pub, has sparked conversations on moble scaffold safety in busy urban areas.
During Scottish Apprenticeship Week (SAW), a series of events were carried out across Scotland to honour current apprentices while highlighting the merits of work-based learning. Among the notable highlights of last week’s SAW was CISRS Managing Director Dave Mosley’s seizing the opportunity to engage with the next generation of scaffolders north of the border.Dave visited ASET International Energy Training Academy in Aberdeen and the National Construction College (NCC) Scotland at Inchinnan, where apprentices are currently completing their scaffolding apprenticeship programs. At these approved providers, apprentices from various companies, including Scaffold Orkney, L&M Scaffolding, AB Scaffold, Access 2000, Duncan Scaffolding, and Abscaff, were immersed in Part 1 training under the guidance of their instructor, Richard Wrightson.Interactions between Dave, Mark Davidson (CITB Apprentice Manager for Grampian), Shonagh Young of ASET, and the apprentices delved into various topics ranging from course content to industry experiences and future aspirations. Dave expressed delight in meeting these enthusiastic apprentices and conveyed optimism about their journey ahead in the scaffolding sector.Transitioning to NCC Scotland, Dave Mosley encountered another group of apprentices in their final assessment week under the attentive supervision of Instructor Stewart McAllister. This cohort hailed from companies such as Edinburgh Scaffolding Ltd, Lyndon/SGB, Enigma, Millar Scaffold, I-Scaff Access Solutions Ltd, McTaggart Construction, and Kingdom Access Scaffolding Ltd, reflecting diverse industry sectors and geographical regions.Following the successful completion of their assessments, Dave Mosley presented certificates to the apprentices, marking a significant milestone in their careers. The occasion was celebrated with a steak dinner, attended by the apprentices, instructors, program managers, apprentice officers, and support services team leaders.Reflecting on the experience, Dave extended his good wishes to the apprentices embarking on their CISRS-qualified scaffolding careers. Dave commented, “The apprentice group at NCC Scotland are coming to the end of their program and will very soon be CISRS qualified scaffolders. I wish them all the best for the future and that they have a long, varied and rewarding career in the Scaffolding sector.”

In addition to the loss of life, falls from height also result in a significant number of non-fatal injuries, with over 5,000 individuals reported to have been injured at work in Great Britain in 2022/23 alone.
However, underreporting, particularly among the self-employed, likely means the actual number of incidents is higher.
