• Scaffolding construction services in South Africa
  are a necessity due to the major upgrades of so
  much of the existing infrastructure in and around
  cities and the construction of new buildings.
  With events such as the FIFA World Cup in the
  near future and the progression of South Africa
  into becoming a first world country, the
  transformation of the visual and structural
  aspects of the country are staggering. Along with
  these transformations comes the need for reliable
  and safe scaffolding services and systems through
  a safety approved contractor. Checkout

• Hiring a Contractor
• Hiring a licensed scaffolding contractor is the
  best method of finding a reliable and safe
  scaffolding system to use. In South Africa,
  contractors must abide by governmental safety
  legislations and the OHS Act SANS 10085 to
  ensure that optimum safety is maintained during
  scaffolding operations and to avoid prosecution
  for accidents or death.From the years 2000 to
  2005, there were 3999 injuries in the United
  Kingdom caused by various accidents on
  construction sites, all of which were avoidable -
  with proper care and safety, accidents should be
  extremely minimal.

• Scaffolding Safety Preparation
• Before a scaffolding structure is erected, there
  is some preparation which should be carried out
  by the scaffolding contractor hired for the job
  and by the person hiring the contractor.Firstly,
  the area where the scaffolding is to be erected
  needs to be a level surface that is stable, and
  if it is not, the contractor will need to
  stabilise it and make sure that it is adequate to
  support the scaffolds.Safety of bystanders is
  incredibly important and if the scaffolding is to
  be erected in a public place, appropriate
  measures need to be taken. For example, the work
  can be scheduled to proceed during quiet periods,
  during which less people are likely to be in
  proximity to the structure or roads can be closed
  through council permission. Scaffolding should
  never be erected near power lines as this can be
  extremely dangerous and result in fatalities.If
  scaffolding is to be used on a freeway or
  highway, the contractor is required to have a
  license especially for this and is responsible
  for applying for and obtaining such a license.

• However, the person hiring the contractor is
  responsible for asking for planning permission
  from the local council regarding the erection of
  any temporary structure and possible permanent
  structures the scaffolding may be used for. You

• Getting Started
• Workers erecting scaffolding should be properly
  trained in the correct methods of constructing
  the scaffolding and working with temporary
  structures.Before use, the scaffolding should be
  inspected, and again once it is assembled. It is
  also advisable that the scaffolding is checked at
  regular intervals for weaknesses or damage to the
  structure and materials.

• This is especially important after an addition or
  change has been made to the scaffolding. Equally
  as important, scaffolding should be checked after
  very dry weather, storms, strong winds and other
  factors which may affect the safety of the
  scaffold structure.
