2. Why shrink wrap?
SHRINKS ‘DRUM TIGHT’
= less site visits to repair wind damage
WELDED JOINS BETWEEN SHEETS
= better ‘containment’ & weather
protection
IMPROVED APPEARANCE
= happier customers & more repeat work

4. Where? We can provide training on a temporary structure at your yard / premises or on a ‘live’
job. No classroom is required as the course is based mainly on assessment of practical skills.
How many? We find a ratio of 4 trainees to one trainer is ideal but up to 6 is possible.
What equipment will I need? We can provide a ‘start up kit’ consisting of heat gun(s), shrink
wrap film, patch tape and clips which can then be used going forward on your first shrink wrap
project.
How long? An initial training session on a small scaffolding structure at your site for a team of
4 will typically last 4-6 hours. ‘Live job’ training generally lasts longer and may be 2-3 days
depending on your requirements.
Is a certificate issued? Certification is based on a practical assessment of shrink wrapping
skills by our trainer and a short multiple choice test. This practical assessment and scoring is
the same system we use for training our own installation teams. We provide copies of these
records and certificates so that you can provide evidence of the competencies of your team to
your customers.
Essential information
5. Scaffold Wrap Training – Topics covered
Theory
• Equipment (Heat gun) familiarisation – Pre start checks. Connecting and disconnecting the
gun, hose and regulator. Safe use of propane gas and handling of gas cylinders. Materials
familiarisation – shrink wrap, patch tape, clips etc.
• Personal safety – PPE, safe use of heat gun and fire prevention.
• Shrink wrapping scaffold structures – weather conditions, setting up the scaffold structure
for best results, wrapping side elevations, wrapping temporary roofs.
Practical Skills
• Welding & shrinking scaffolding wrap.
• Repairing holes by patching / welding.
• In the practical session our trainer demonstrates each skill and then each trainee
practices. The training structure is wrapped and then stripped. Finally, working in two
teams, the operatives are assessed as they shrink wrap the training structure.
