Second Hand Scaffolding

Do not use second hand scaffolding with parts from different manufacturers.

All independent scaffolding should be designed, erected, altered and dismantled by competent people, with all independent scaffolding work under the supervision of a ‘competent person’.

Ever thought that it may be cheaper to buy your own scaffolding rather than rent it?

Ensure that the scaffold company you propose to use has a good history in terms of reputation service and safety.

Scaffolding tubes are now usually constructed of galvanised steel but historically have been made of wooded staves and bamboo.

Since 1971, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) has put a standard in place to help protect workers on scaffolds.

There are two primary categories of scaffolding, fixed and mobile.

To improve stability and enhance the feeling of safety, use oversize casters with extra-long necks.

Because scaffolding is such an integral component to most major construction jobs, scaffolding costs are becoming much more competitive.

Scaffolding contractors will be able contract other scaffold services as well as scaffold equipment hire.
