Please explore the below industry regulations and legislation acts that we are proud to follow as a professional scaffolding company, here in Bury and all the nearby areas.
This UK-wide legislation is crucial for all scaffolding companies and contractors. It requires that employers ensure the health, safety, and welfare of workers and others who may be affected by their activities. In the context of scaffolding, this means that scaffold structures must be erected, maintained, and dismantled in a manner that prevents harm. Access towers and scaffolds should always be constructed by fully trained professionals, and regular inspections must be conducted.
This regulation is specifically designed to ensure that any work carried out at height, such as on scaffolding or scaffold towers, is done safely. It mandates that scaffolding systems must be designed, constructed, and maintained to minimise the risk of falls. Additionally, it outlines the need for suitable fall protection systems such as guardrails and personal protective equipment (PPE).
The British Standard BS EN 12811 sets out specific guidelines for the design, construction, and use of scaffolding. These standards apply to all types of scaffolding, from residential scaffolding to new build scaffolding. Compliance with BS EN 12811 ensures that the scaffold is safe for both workers and the public.
It is the responsibility of the scaffolding contractor to ensure that scaffolds are regularly inspected and maintained. These inspections must be conducted by a competent professional and documented accordingly. Failure to comply with inspection standards can lead to serious safety risks and legal consequences. Whether you need domestic scaffolding or a scaffold tower for a commercial project, ensuring proper maintenance is vital.
