SCAFFOLDING HEALTH AND SAFETY

The well-being of our customers is at the forefront of everything we do. Therefore, we prioritise scaffolding health and safety at every stage, from design through to inspection. Our team stick strictly to the latest legislation at all times, including working safely at height, and we are fully compliant with industry regulations. To ensure the safety of users, we also provide instructions and precautionary advice to help prevent accident or injury.

ENSURING SCAFFOLDS ARE UP TO STANDARD

From slips and trips to falling objects, working at height, particularly on temporary structures poses a wide range of risks. This is why we take a number of measures to help minimise risk and maximise site safety, including:

Carrying out comprehensive risk assessments and site surveys ahead of erection and dismantling.
Ensuring that staff members and third party scaffold users wear, and are aware of, the correct PPE.
Supply and installation of various safety features, such as rails, barriers, nets, sheets, and chutes.
Inspection of scaffolding structures both upon completion, and every 7 days following.
Reassessing the structural safety of scaffolding following high winds or stormy conditions.
Expert advice and user instructions supplied, encouraging customers to follow safety guidelines.
Providing signage and security equipment, and taking precautions for scaffolding in public spaces.
