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

The independent scaffold has standards or uprights on both sides of its working platforms. This allows the independent scaffold to remain upright without support from the building under construction or repair.

The integrity of the scaffolding plank is vital to the construction worker as there life depends on it.

It is sensible for a competent, knowledgeable individual be responsible for inspecting portable scaffolding on a daily basis before each shift is due to begin.

Common causes of scaffolding accidents include; insecure bracing, faulty equipment, forgotten safety components, faulty planking and shoddy construction materials.

Don't allow anyone to work on scaffolds during storms or in high winds, and don't allow anyone to move a scaffold while workers are on it unless it's been designed for that purpose.

You need to always be dealing with a scaffolding company which provides good, safe products which will allow you to trust those products for years to come.

In general you can use steel scaffolding and mild steel scaffolding up to ten stories. Any higher workers must take extra supportive measures.

Ensure that the scaffold company you propose to use has a good history in terms of reputation service and safety.

DIY scaffolding can be a cost effective alternative to using scaffolding professionals when all the correct procedures are followed.
