HOME / What You Should Know About Scaffolding Safety
Accidents are never pleasant, and even under the best of circumstances, injuries are best avoided. At their worst, building accidents can leave people unable to work for months or even years at a time, assuming they recover at all. That’s why it couldn’t be more important to maintain good safety practices when working on scaffolding, and that’s what we’re here to talk about today.
When you hire a mobile scaffolding company, you’ll probably have a few discussions about exactly what kind of a set-up you’re going to need. At this point, you should also be considering the needs of the job. How much of a load will the scaffolding have to bear? Will there be much heavy lifting involved? This is all important because where you position ladders and how you intend people to get around makes a big difference to the safety of a building project.
When you’re setting everything up you should lay down exactly how you expect people to get about. Not only will these rules help you arrange things in a sensible and safe manner, but they’ll also set certain expectations and help to prevent people from taking unnecessary risks.
Far more important than rules, however, is trust. You and your employees have to be able to trust that the mobile scaffolding company you’re working with has done a good and reliable job.
That’s why you should always look for a mobile scaffolding company with lots of previous experience. If you get the chance, speak with other people who’ve worked with them and give yourself as much peace of mind as you can.
At the end of the day, when you hire a mobile scaffolding company, you’re hiring someone whose job is to make the construction process easier. A good scaffolding company should know this and should do their best to set things up in a way that minimises the risk of accident.
When you’re working towards the completion of a project, everyone knows it can be tempting to push yourself to get things done a little bit faster. That being said, rushing things never helped anybody and if you start to cut corners you run far greater risks of serious accidents and/or injuries. Instead, try to set a reasonable pace of work and stick to it. If there are delays, acknowledge them, but don’t break your important safety rules just to get the work done faster.
