In this day and age, scaffolding costs are becoming more and more expensive and therefore it is essential that you do your research before you decide on a final product or company to help you with your scaffolding needs.

Always be sure that the name of the scaffolding company is not associated with anything negative.

Workers should have pulleys for pulling tools and equipment up and down the scaffold, leaving their hands free to climb access ladders.

Although it may seem to do so, scaffolding doesn't actuary support the building.

Carefully inspect all scaffolding boards for damage and wear when you buy scaffolding second hand.

Independent scaffolding should be designed to prevent materials falling and be fitted with brickguards, netting or sheeting.

Scaffolding is always necessary when existing physical structures need to be modified.

Bamboo scaffolding is mainly used in Asia and most commonly seen in Hong Kong, China, and India.

When dismantling NEVER drop scaffolding components from heights. As well as damaging the components it may cause injury or even death to persons below.

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.
