Safety and compliance information

While scaffolding provides easy access to high spots in and around your worksite, there are a number of safety protocols that should be considered before employees are permitted to use the scaffold.

Ensure the scaffolding has its castors locked or is securely anchored to a base plate or other anchor method, and that it is completely level. Workers should also be provided with safe, convenient access to the scaffolding, such as a stair tower or ladder.

When in use, the load capacity of the scaffolding should be adhered to at all times, taking into account workers, their tools and any other equipment that needs to be carried across the scaffold. Where necessary, safety harnesses, guardrails and toe boards should be implemented and used.

The scaffold should be regularly inspected for damage, corrosion, stress points or any other signs of weakening. If you discover any potential safety risks with scaffolding hired from Coates, please contact us immediately.
