As more and
more accidents are happening at job sites that use scaffolding, many
contractors are steering towards buying new scaffolding, instead
of buying used scaffolding. For building construction, repairs, painting,
window washing, etc., you have to guarantee your workers safety.
The proper
installation of scaffolding is of high importance, to allow your workers to be
more supported the higher they go. They can also feel safer knowing that they
are on a solid surface, and can focus more on their job and their safety.
Scaffolding designs have changed throughout the years to keep workers safe.
This is the most important part of any scaffolding project.
Knowing the
safety demands of companies that you are working for, it is imperative that you
find a scaffolding manufacturer will that has been in the business for many
years, and is reputable.
Not only
does the scaffolding itself have to be secure, the workers that are on the
scaffolding should have the proper training to stay safe while working on the
scaffolding. Without the proper scaffolding in place and the proper safety
training of your employees, you may have more time loss because of accidents,
thus affecting your company’s reputation.
When
building the scaffolding, platforms have to be placed at different heights
along the scaffolding. Of course, the best places to put them would be where
the majority of the work needs to be done.
Scaffolding
can either be independent scaffolding or fixed scaffolding. An independent
scaffold is one that has the ability to stand on its own, safely, without
support from the building. The putlog scaffold is additionally supported by
connecting to the building itself. Depending on the height of the building,
independent scaffolding should be tied to the building so it can remain stable,
and the workers can remain safe, at any height.
As a
contractor, your employees depend on you to keep them safe while working for
you.
