David Tait and Andrew Gray, both recent law graduates from Glasgow University, debated the following motions:

• That 3T is a perfectly acceptable method of preventing falls from mobile access towers;
• That advanced guardrails are the best available option for preventing falls from mobile access towers;
• That industry cannot afford the cost of converting to advanced guardrails.

David Tait spoke in favour of the  3T method and Andrew Gray in favour of advanced guardrails. The debates were wide ranging and covered amongst other things:

• Assembly and dismantling times;
• Safety and fall prevention;
• Application and availability;
• Training and logistics;
• Economic viability.

Both David and Andrew spoke for seven minutes each with a three-minute rebuttal at the end, and then questions were then taken from the audience. The debates are part of an ongoing process to review the two alternative methods.
