Scaffolding Safty Measurement

Working at height is a hazardous activity. The main hazard is the height itself, as well as incompetent scaffolders or scaffold users, inadequate personal protective equipment (PPE), and so on. The most likely event is a fall, which could lead to paralysis or death.

Safety is of utmost importance when working at height. The Work at Height Regulations 2005 state that unless a scaffold is assembled to a generally recognized standard configuration, it must be designed by a competent person. This ensures that the scaffold will be strong and stable enough to be used safely.

Scaffolders and scaffold users must always wear their PPE, there should be a first aid kit available, and signages should be posted showing the current status of work (for example, warning notices and status tags). The site must be kept in a safe condition when work is not actively going on. In addition, the BP of each scaffolder should be checked daily to ensure that everyone is in a safe condition to work at height.iodically check the scaffold to ensure that it is still in a good condition and safe to use.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) used for scaffolding includes: gloves, safety shoes, googles, earmuffs, overalls and reflective jackets, hard hats, and safety harnesses.iodically check the scaffold to ensure that it is still in a good condition and safe to use.

If there are any changes or damage to the scaffold, do not use it until it has been fixed by a competent person.
