TRA - Never been a better time to join

Supported by the majority of leading trussed rafter producers, as well as systems and suppliers, the influence and standing of the Trussed Rafter Association is now widely established.

The Trussed Rafter Association (TRA) celebrates the 10th anniversary this year - ten years that have seen the steady development of its credentials within the construction industry.

Supported by the majority of leading trussed rafter producers, as well as systems and suppliers, the influence and standing of TRA is now widely established.

Organisations such as HSE, NHBC, BRE, TRADA, BSI and many others all value TRA's input.

Nothing much happens in the industry nowadays that TRA is not asked to either comment upon or influence in some other way.

This has to be of benefit to TRA members in this age of increasing legislation.

After ten years, TRA is now moving on to a new phase in its development and would welcome as wide a membership base as possible in order to achieve its new aims.

Some of the areas which must be addressed are, for example; working with HSE to ensure fair and sensible interpretation of the ever increasing health and safety legislation, considering competition from other forms of roofing systems, taking a lead in the industry's training needs and coping with the design changes demanded by the replacement of the BS 5268 design code with Eurocode 5.

This list is not exhaustive but typifies the type of challenges which individual truss producers would find difficult to meet on their own.

And if all this was not enough to encourage truss fabricators to apply for membership of TRA then consider one simple fact.

Through its publicity efforts, TRA has received over 30,000 direct and internet enquiries so far this year.

Each and every enquirer had access to the TRA list of truss fabricator Members.

It is beyond question that this must lead to a high level of preferential business enquiries for the TRA membership.
