Scaffolding literally holds lives in its hands whether supporting workers at height or preventing collapse onto the public below, true health and safety has to come from exceptional design and construction.

We always put health and safety first on our projects taking into account our team, your teams of construction workers and any members of the general public that are in the general vicinity. From simple house scaffolds to major construction projects we ensure a safe site through careful design, risk assessments and method statements, site surveys and scaffold inspections backed up by highly experienced scaffolding erectors and site managers.

Fully qualified to assure your health and safety
Our Director holds the NEBOSH General and Construction certification in Health and Safety and is an affiliated member of IOSH and is currently working towards TECH IOSH membership. All our scaffold personal and supervisors have taken a CSCS certification for health and safety and we also ensure they have all taken and hold a CISRS Scaffolders cerftification. This ensures everyone on our team has an essential basic understanding of health and safety legislation, potential risks and what procedure is required to react properly to them.

Fully trained and aware of our health and safety policy
In addition to the CISRS training and CSCS certification we train all our employees in our own in house health and safety policy with particular attention on the types of work we typically carry out and refresher and update courses as required. Focusing safety understanding into our working methods ensures everyone is aware of their individual responsibilities and chain of command.

Periodic safety and extreme weather checks
In accordance with legislation we will carry out regular stability and safety inspections on all scaffolding structures which are in use for long periods of time or that suffer extreme weather events that may de-stabilise them. Working closely with your site and project managers we’ll make sure these checks are well scheduled and reliably carried out to prevent disruption to the rest of the build.

We go out of our way to keep our team on top of health and safety and to maintain our long track record of accident free projects. Making safety an integral part of the design and construction with a highly aware team guarantees that plans are effectively carried out and unexpected risks are quickly identified and dealt with; you can get a copy of our full health and safety policy on request.
