Independent scaffolding should be designed to prevent materials falling and be fitted with brickguards, netting or sheeting.

Scaffolding bars must always be supported on proprietary base plates to ensure the safety of the scaffolding when the scaffolding bars are used vertically.

Scaffolding is used in the construction or repair of buildings and its main function is to support workers and their materials. However, a scaffolding structure is only ever intended to be a temporary measure.

Workers should have pulleys for pulling tools and equipment up and down the scaffold, leaving their hands free to climb access ladders.

Finding scaffolding companies that you can trust is very important when buying or hiring scaffolding, to ensure that you are getting a good quality product.

Access ladders should extend about 1 m above the working platform of independent scaffolding in order to provide a handhold for people getting on and off.

It's always difficult to determine the durability of steal and mild steel scaffolding.

A conventional scaffolding system will be made of a number of sections which are stacked up to build a framework to a desired height.

Scaffolding tubes are usually connected with metal 'Clams' (clamps) which offer a versatile and effective method for the erection of scaffolding.

Bear in mind, as the size of a construction project increases, so does the cost of scaffolding.
