BBFNZ roadshow helps keep LBPs up to date with technical and industry changes.

The Brick and Blocklayers Federation of New Zealand (BBFNZ) is running its third national roadshow of training for those in the masonry trades. The Federation invites all licensed brick and blocklayers to attend the skills maintenance seminars, which are already under way.

“With its emphasis on LBP skills maintenance, these sessions are a valuable part of keeping building practitioners up to speed,” says Brick and Blocklayers Federation of New Zealand chair Rick Mead.

Highlights for this year’s session include a keynote safety management presentation from Site Safe, with a particular emphasis on getting to grips with new legislation. There will also be a Q&A session with local senior building officials on issues specific to brick and blocklayers, as well as technical updates from Firth, Dricon, Rothbury Insurance Brokers, BCITO and Bowers Bros Concrete.

Members of the BBFNZ branch where the seminars are being held can attend the seminars at no cost. For non-members, the charge will be $120 per person. Please RSVP to 021 845 825 or admin@brickandblocklayersfederation.co.nz to attend the session closest to you.
