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 more and download all safety guides.
