3 Ways to Get Ahead of New Scaffolding Regulations

The construction industry is not thrilled about new scaffolding regulations, which is understandable since it means more work. The need to change scaffolding regulations is dictated by the health and safety of workers. Scaffolds must meet standards because they carry people at great heights. There are ways to avoid being caught off guard when new scaffolding regulations are introduced. You can offer your scaffolds to new customers while competitors try to adjust their processes to the new standards. This way, you will be ready to work right now and earn an income.

1. Scaffolding Safety

Make sure that your scaffolding is always a safe place to work. Constantly check for the presence of:

• Decking on tiers,
• Railings along work platforms,
• Anchors to the wall of the building.

2. Upgrading the skills of the assembly team

Industry documents indicate that the erection and dismantling of scaffolds must be carried out by competent workers. You should maintain a sufficient level of skills and knowledge of the scaffold assembly team and improve their competence with new instructions and training. Periodically discuss work practices in the scaffolding industry, and inform employees about changes in safety guidelines.

3. Regular inspections of scaffolds.

Inspection of the condition of the scaffolds is never superfluous. Inspection of scaffolds is carried out at all stages, starting with the inspection after installation, making changes to the design, and exposure to adverse weather conditions.

By following these rules, you can not be afraid of changes in scaffolding regulations. You can always offer new customers safe and reliable scaffolds that comply with previous standards and meet new standards.
