About scaffolds

A scaffold is a temporary structure to support the original structure, as well as workmen, use it as a platform to carry on construction work.

There are different types of scaffolding

2.Walkthrough frames
3. Kwik stage system
4. Ringlock


Tubes and fittings.

Traditional tubes and fitting system scaffolding, consist of steel scaffolding pipes of 48.3mm diameter x 3mm thickness and couplers of BS/EN74 that are used to join them together to form a superstructure that can either support slab, construct a scaffolding tower, scaffolding rack, facade scaffolding, stand-alone scaffolding, cantilever scaffolding, bridge scaffolding and many other more. all these designs comply to TG20:13/ BS/EN 12811 and work at height regulations.

Liberty events and contracts scaffolding offers you with traditional tubes and fittings scaffolding systems

SCAFFOLD SAFETY TIPS

 Preventing accidents in the workplace

Workplace safety is a vital part of any working environment. Construction sites are accident prone areas but the only way to reduce the chances of the occurrence of one whether major or minor is to use preventive measures.
Some of these are:




                                                     1.Use of Personal Protective Equipment. (PPE)

PPE plays a vital role in reducing accidents/injuries or deaths when working in a construction site thus any person working in a construction site should wear proper PPE. Helmets, gloves, Safety boots, reflective clothing should be worn at all times for those working at places without the risk of falling. Scaffolders should wear harnesses, helmets, gloves safety boots and reflective clothing when working at a height above 6 feet from the ground.


                                                      2. Use of Safety signs.

Construction sites have many people from the site managers, workers to visitors. Therefore people should be notified of the risks, hazards when working on the site. This is achieved by the use of proper signs in the site. These signs help people to avoid accidents in the workplace.

3. Toolbox Talk
Every site manager/supervisor should have a toolbox talk with the workers before they start any work. These talks help them to discuss on possible risks on the workplace, where they might occur and how to prevent them from happening and in case one happens, what procedures workers may take.
