Erection Guides

The links below will give you access to guides on how to erect system scaffolding safely. These guides are based on good practice, but remember that if your site has any danger areas these must be taken into account.


Whilst we appreciate that you will anticipate any hazards, we have listed below a few that may not be aparent on first inspection.

Overhead Power Lines - Electricity and scaffolding do not mix well!

Steep Inclines or Voids - Remember you may only be working at 3.0m in height, but if this is on an incline or near a void, the distance that you would fall could be more than double.

Good Footing - Always ensure that the scaffolding you erect is on good solid ground and sole pads should be placed under the adjustable feet. You should only adjust feet to level a scaffold. You must never adjust feet to gain extra height.

These guides are what they say - "Guides". If you are unsure of any aspect please seek professional advice.
