Health & Safety
Before London Scaffolding Solutions begin any project, a risk assessment and
signed health & safety policy is carried out. A handing over certificate
is supplied after completion on every installation, once inspected by a
supervisor and the client's appointed site manager; so that they are
assured of a safe working environment. We have qualified safety advisors
who implement the company's comprehensive health & safety policy. Within
our safety team there is practical scaffolding experience which is invaluable
in developing safety measures both for our own staff, our clients and the public.
Our safety team also contributes to training strategy, method statements / risk
assessments, tool box talks, regular site safety inspections and work closely
with our clients' safety staff at each and every stage of a project.
Training
All employees who perform work on scaffolding at London Scaffolding Solutions are trained
annually to recognize the hazards associated with the type of scaffold being
used and the procedures to control or minimize those hazards. Employees are
trained to demonstrate competency in the following areas:-
- Nature of electrical, fall hazards and falling object hazards in the work area
- Proper use of scaffolds
- Proper handling of materials on scaffolds
- Proper erecting, maintaining and disassembling of fall protection systems
- Proper construction, use, placement and care in handling of scaffolds
- Maximum intended load and load-carrying capacities of scaffolds used
