A labourer who shows a steady hand on render or block work is moved onto the trowel within a season and paid the craftsman rate. The contractor also pays for the scaffolding certificate for those who want it.

Open sites in the city, so the work follows the weather, with shaded rest points and drinking water in summer. A helmet, a harness on the scaffold, gloves and boots are mandatory and are supplied and replaced by the employer.
