Licensing

Trades people on construction site are often required to erect and dismantle restricted height scaffolding to complete some height work tasks. Restricted height means scaffolding with a working platform up to four metres high, which is usually sufficient for working at heights to a single‑storey house. This could be installing fascia, soffits, cleaning and installing gutters, painting walls and ceilings and accessing the roof. This restricted height scaffolding can be set up by anyone – as long as they have been trained to do the job properly and safely; no licence or ticket is required.

Aluminium Scaffold Hazards

Every job on a construction site requires a strong understanding of the rules, Regulations and requirements. Failure to follow these can lead to serious consequences for employers and/or workers. Scaffolding work can present many hazards, not only with erecting and working on the scaffold itself but also from the site or area where the scaffold is located. Before you pick up your first piece of the scaffold, you need to be familiar with:
