Scaffold Fittings - Facts, Hints & Tips

To erect scaffolding on or over a public highway, you’ll need to be issued with a license from your local Highway Authority.

NEVER use scaffolding components that are damaged.

As portable scaffolding becomes more and more popular, there are more and more companies who are able to train those who use portable scaffolding.

Overall, scaffolding costs, like any other construction cost, will vary from project to project and whether you hire out or do it yourself.

To prevent accidents every scaffolder should be familiar with scaffolding regulations.

It’s essential that all upright scaffolding poles are positioned no more than six feet apart.

When you buy scaffolding, it is much more convenient to move and re-erect it with your own labor force.

It is essential that all base plates and screw jacks (that come with base plates) must be secured firmly to the base of the scaffolding.

Remember to be careful whenever you're erecting scaffolding on soft, frozen or suspect ground.

When you buy scaffolding that is second hand, always carefully inspect all parts of the scaffolding to ensure that it is in good condition.
