Scaffolding series
The recognised series covering general scaffold requirements and requirements for specific scaffold systems and components.
Safety credentials
Standards and controls that support safer access
Every scaffold requires the right design, competent people and documented checks. Our safety process covers the structure from planning through dismantling.
Recognised framework
Standards referenced for scaffold work
These are industry standards and guidance used to inform safe scaffold work. Their inclusion does not represent a separate company accreditation.
AS/NZS 4576
Guidelines for scaffolding
Guidance for the safe selection, erection, use, inspection and dismantling of scaffolding.
WHS controls
High-risk construction work
Site-specific planning, consultation and controls are documented before high-risk scaffold work begins.
Site process
Safety at each stage
Controls are matched to the site, scaffold type and work being performed rather than treated as a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Planning before erection
The team reviews access, ground conditions, loading, nearby services, public protection and interaction with other trades.
Controlled erection and dismantling
Exclusion zones, fall controls and an agreed work sequence are established for the scaffold crew and surrounding site.
Handover and inspection
A competent person inspects the structure before handover, after events that may affect it and at the required site intervals.
Tagging and records
Status tags, inspection findings and corrective actions remain traceable so site teams can confirm whether access is safe to use.
