Concrete Wall Scaffold – Facts, Hints & Tips

For light duty tasks, aluminum scaffolding is an ideal choice. Strong and quick to assemble it can easily be moved from location to location.

Any qualified scaffolder should be able to find employment with building contractors or scaffolding firms.

Scaffolding companies are beginning to use light prefabricated equipment to make a job less labour intensive.

Scaffolding tubes can be used horizontally, vertically and diagonally using a variety of clamps including swivel clams.

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

The width of the boards will always determine the width of the scaffolding structure. It is recommended that the width scaffolding should be no less than 600mm. A four board scaffold would be 870mm.

Only use scaffolding boards that carry the mark of an approved grading agency.

There are a number of scaffolding types available. Therefore it’s always advisable to familiarize yourself with the hazards associated with the scaffold type you’re using.

Before portable scaffolding is used, all the wheels will need to be locked and rigid which will keep the portable scaffolding stable for climbing.

If you are working on a building that is adjacent to a public highway, then the safety of all highway users is of great importance.

  1. Thank you for mentioning the importance of making sure the company you hire is reputable. I would think that asking friends or family members for recommendations would be a good way to find a trustworthy contractor. It seems like looking at online reviews is also a good way to make sure the scaffolding company you hire is the right one for you.
