Scaffolding Clamps are used to join scaffolding members together. This forms a framework that supports the scaffolding boards.
It's impossible to erect a safe scaffold if the base rests on items like barrels, boxes, loose bricks, or concrete blocks.
Common scaffold accidents include employees slipping or being struck by falling objects.
Access ladders should extend about 1 meter above the working platform of independent scaffolding in order to provide a handhold for people getting on and off.
Apart from the extreme high rise buildings, bamboo scaffolding is used in nearly all construction projects that take place in Shanghai.
Scaffolding planks closest to the building wall should be flipped onto their sides. This will prevent any rain water splashing onto the mortar during an overnight storm.
Scaffolding is always necessary when existing physical structures need to be modified.
Unfortunately, because of the continuation of poor quality bamboo, there are increasing reports of accidents relating to bamboo scaffolding.
The setting up and dismantling of scaffolding should only and always be done under direct supervision of somebody knowledgeable, competent, and very experienced in the matter.
