Only apply for jobs in scaffolding with companies that adhere to the rules of the workplace and current legislation.

Independent scaffolding is a supported scaffold consisting of a platform(s) resting on cross beams (bearers) supported by ledgers and a double row of uprights independent of support.

Scaffolding bars are used to make the structure of scaffolding which is used for the construction and maintenance of buildings etc.

Unfortunately scaffolding accidents are common in the construction industry and are often caused by negligent poor structure and a lack of proper safety checks.

Vertical scaffolding tubes must be supported on proprietary base plates to ensure the safety of the scaffolding.

Clamp connectors are suitable to use with just about any scaffolding design. They also have a long life and are inexpensive to manufacture.

Scaffolding tube is readily available and will allow regular scaffolding fittings to be used when building a framework.

Before purchasing or renting a particular scaffold, you must determine the scope of the project including your particular situation, budget, and needs.

To find out the load capacity for scaffolding components check with the manufacturer.

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’.
