Many homeowners don't realize the dangers and problems associated with scaffolding being erected on their property. This article will examine the benefits of scaffolding hire for home improvement and highlight some of the most dangerous risks.
Safety and health for scaffolding workers should not be ignored
Safety is the most important aspect of any scaffolding construction. Although most scaffolding companies are familiar with safety and health laws, they don't always follow the best practices.
It is important to ensure that the scaffolding is properly tied into the property. If necessary, you can also use angled supports as needed. Another important aspect of the installation is to ensure that the scaffold pole shoes have been placed properly with the weight evenly distributed on the short boards.
After the scaffolding framework has been secured to the building, the next step is to make sure that all scaffold boards are properly spaced and supported at all ends. The scaffold bolts holding the poles together must be tight. On occasion, I've seen loose ones.
It may be necessary to install safety nets depending on the location of the scaffolding and the purpose. This will prevent debris from causing headaches or worsening the injury. One particular job I was involved in required special fans to be placed above the hotel entrance so that the dust didn't get on residents while work was progressing.
Security Scaffolding
The scaffolding allows burglars to treat all windows, no matter how high, as though they were on the ground floor. A scaffolding security alarm should be installed on any job that is decent in size. Although it may be more expensive, consider the potential consequences if you do not have one. Is it the scaffolding company? Is it the scaffolding firm? Is it the builder or scaffolding company? Is it the homeowner or the builder?
These are important issues to talk with your scaffold hire company or builder before you install anything.
It is common for tradesmen to remove the ladder from scaffolding at the end each day, especially for smaller jobs and mid-terrace properties. To keep yourself safe, any ropes that come from pulleys must be carried up to one floor.
