Health and Safety

Health and safety at Scaffolding London is of the utmost importance and it is in our policy to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our employees, customers, contractors and visitors to any of our sites.

Our health and safety policy requires all employees and team members to comply with the latest industrial regulations and we provide our staff with regular training to ensure this is adhered to.

All of our team and anyone on-site must:

• Ensure they keep a healthy and responsible attitude to health and safety by implementation of the regulations and codes of practice
• Ensure others comply with health and safety regulations by observing and reporting
• Apply the regulations and training provided to all projects, no matter how large or small
• Operate all equipment safely and in a responsible manner
• Employ risk assessments before beginning any projects
• Prevent accidents, injuries or serious incidents which may occur
• Prevent any damage to equipment and ensure equipment is regularly maintained and safe to use according to industry standards
• Encourage the compliance of any visitors, customers and contractors to health and safety legislation
• Promote safety awareness by regular training and consult consistently with other company team members to meet the health and safety policy objectives
• Be pro-active in preventing accidents or injuries
• Be pro-active in the reporting of accidents, injuries or near accidents to ensure their prevention in the future

We are fully committed to ensure the safety of all persons present on-site. We complete full site specific risk assessments in advance of any work beginning, and complete method statements are produced. All staff must sign method statements and risk assessments to ensure their compliance before the project begins.

All of our team are highly trained and hold all of the relevant and up to date certification. Full PPE (personal protective equipment) is supplied to all of our scaffolders, sub-contractors and visitors to the site at all times. Scaffolding London has a full in-house training scheme which provides our team with up to date information on the latest developments in the legislation of the construction industry. It also ensures any changes to our health and safety policy are implemented as and when they occur.

Sites are inspected once completion of the job has been achieved and clients are provided with a certificate when inspection is completed. If clients wish to see any of our paperwork before we begin they can request this.
