Market Leader in Formwork Scaffolding & Construction Systems & Accessories
Safety is the most important factor when
assembling any scaffolding. First thing to consider is the quality of the
scaffolding and the supplier. Do your research, and make sure the quality is of
the highest quality. Next is the training provided to staff on any construction
site. This we cannot stress enough here at Monaco Global. Erecting and
dismantling scaffolding needs to be done correctly to avoid any workplace
accidents.
What is a scaffold, scaffolding and
scaffolding work? A scaffold is a temporary structure erected to support access
or working platforms. Scaffolds are commonly used in construction work so
workers have a safe, stable work platform when work cannot be done at ground
level or on a finished floor. Scaffolding in this Guide means the individual
components, for example tubes, couplers or frames and materials that when
assembled form a scaffold. Scaffolding is classified as plant under Work Health
and Safety (WHS) Act. Scaffolding work is erecting, altering or dismantling a
temporary structure erected to support a platform and from which a person or
object could fall more than 4 metres from the platform or the structure.
Scaffolding work must be undertaken by a person holding the appropriate class
of high risk work licence. This definition applies whenever the term
‘scaffolding work’ is used in this Guide - Visit Safework Australia to read
