Health and Safety
Prioritizing Safety on Every Project
At SA Scaffolding , safety is at the heart of everything we do. We understand the risks associated with working at height and are committed to ensuring the highest levels of health and safety compliance across all our scaffolding projects. Our experienced and fully trained team follows strict industry regulations to protect workers, clients, and the public at every stage. We don’t just meet safety standards – we exceed them.
🏗️ Compliance with Industry Regulations
Our scaffolding solutions are fully compliant with UK safety regulations, including:
✅ TG20:21 – The latest scaffolding compliance guidance ensuring safe and legal scaffold structures.
✅ SG4:22 – Industry best practices for fall prevention and working at height.
✅ Work at Height Regulations 2005 – Ensuring all scaffolding structures minimize risks and maximize safety.
✅ HSE Scaffolding Guidelines – Adhering to Health & Safety Executive (HSE) standards for workplace safety.
Our safety procedures are regularly updated to stay in line with the latest industry changes, ensuring that all scaffolding structures are erected, maintained, and dismantled to the highest health safety standards.

🛠️ Risk Assessments & Method Statements (RAMS)
Every project we undertake begins with a detailed risk assessment to identify potential hazards and ensure proper safety measures are in place. We provide:
📌 Site-Specific Risk Assessments – Identifying unique risks for each project.
📌 Comprehensive Method Statements – Outlining step-by-step health and safety working procedures.
📌 Regular Safety Inspections – Ongoing monitoring to maintain high health and safety standards.
Before any scaffolding is erected, our health and safety experts conduct thorough planning and assessments, ensuring safe access solutions for all workers.
🔹 Fall Protection & Edge Safety Systems
Falls from height are among the biggest risks in the construction industry. To prevent accidents, we implement robust fall protection systems, including:
✔ Guardrails & Handrails – Providing safe walkways and access.
✔ Safety Harnesses & Lanyards – Ensuring worker protection at all heights.
✔ Scaffold Staircases & Platforms – Enhancing stability and ease of movement.
✔ Debris Netting & Sheeting – Protecting both workers and the public from falling materials.
🔍 Regular Health and Safety Inspections & Maintenance
Scaffolding structures are only as safe as their ongoing maintenance. That’s why we perform:
🔹 Daily and Weekly Scaffold Inspections – Ensuring continued structural integrity.
🔹 Load Testing & Weight Distribution Checks – Preventing overloading and collapse risks.
🔹 Weather Condition Assessments – Adjusting scaffolding health and safety measures in response to extreme weather.
Our inspection processes ensure every structure remains safe throughout the duration of the project.
🚧 Public & Site Safety Measures
Protecting pedestrians, site workers, and surrounding properties is a top priority. We implement:
✔ Hoists & Lifts for Safe Material Handling
✔ Pedestrian Walkways & Barriers
✔ Protective Sheeting & Encapsulation
✔ Clear Signage & Hazard Markings.
These safety features help prevent unauthorized access and minimize risks to the public in high-traffic areas.
⚠️ Emergency Procedures & Incident Response
We have robust emergency procedures in place to handle unexpected situations effectively. Our team is trained to respond swiftly to:
🚨 Scaffold Instability or Damage
