NEW PRODUCT

Screw it – don’t nail it!

Introducing ECKO T-REX17® JoltScrews. JoltScrews are an 8 gauge screw with a small diameter ‘Jolt’ type head, like a jolt nail. They leave a small discreet hole when fixing weatherboards, window and door jambs and other decorative boards and battens that require a tidy fill-sand-paint finish. JoltScrews don’t need a special tool to install them, a regular battery drilldriver will do, and they don’t need to be predrilled or punched-in like a nail before filling (best to test ends). Joltscrews can be unscrewed if necessary and the small 5mm diameter head incorporates a T-15 Torx/Star drive, the driver bit is included in the pack. There are three lengths available; 65, 75 and 90mm, in both XGuard and T316 grade stainless. JoltScrews have been tested by and endorsed by Southern Pine Products for use in their weatherboards. JoltScrews are available at major merchants.

Build your site leaders’ skills and keep workers safer

ACC is extending its cash-back offer on health & safety training courses and is encouraging construction companies to apply by the end of January 2022. ACC will fund up to half of the course costs for construction site leaders to attend the Work Leadsafe Supervisor or the SiteSafe Supervisor training courses. “The training subsidy is for construction businesses with between 6 to 99 employees,” said Virginia Burton-Konia ACC’s Head of Workplace Safety. “It’s designed for your front-line leaders, so roles including site managers, supervisors, foremen, or your health & safety managers.” Already this year, 18,602 workplace injury claims have been lodged with ACC, for people working in construction. “Everyone wants to see the injury rates in construction come down, and training your staff is key to making sure everyone goes home safe. Our subsidy helps you meet the cost.” The CHASNZ-approved courses are the new benchmark in construction safety. Site leaders develop key skills, from how to assess safety risks and drive safe working methods, to effectively using safety tools and systems such as hazard management.
