When scaffolding is erected on your property, there are important safety considerations to keep in mind. This guide covers everything homeowners need to know.
1. Access and Security
Scaffolding should be secured to prevent unauthorised access. We install alarm systems on ladders when scaffolding is left up overnight in public areas.
2. During the Works
While work is ongoing, keep children and pets away from the scaffold. The work area should be clearly marked.
3. Inspections
Your scaffold will be inspected weekly by a competent person. You’ll receive documentation of each inspection.
4. Reporting Concerns
If you notice any issues with the scaffold – loose boards, damaged fittings, or anything that doesn’t look right – contact us immediately.
