  • Overall, while bamboo scaffolding is inexpensive, it is extremely dangerous. For the safety of construction projects, metal scaffolding is the better choice. Modern metal scaffolding is quite convenient and quick. As for the cost, you can choose the appropriate scaffolding system based on the actual situation of the project, such as ringlock scaffolding, cuplock scaffolding, frame scaffolding, Kwikstage scaffolding, etc.
  • The eighth laser tube cutting machine is currently undergoing commissioning. This machine features a 6 kW power output, a precision chuck, a follow-up bracket, and a zero-waste design.
  • There are many common scaffolding systems in modern construction, such as Cuplock, ringlock, Kwikstage, tube and coupler, etc. Each scaffolding system has different characteristics suitable for different construction projects. So, which scaffolding system is the most commonly used? Which scaffolding system is better?
  • In construction projects, there are many different types of scaffolding systems. Choosing a correct scaffolding system can speed up the project progress, improve project efficiency, and ensure the safety of construction projects and the safety of workers' lives and property.
  • In the construction industry, whether it is aluminum formwork system, steel formwork system or plywood formwork system, it occupies a large part of the project budget and can directly affect the total cost. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the cost, working hours, labor requirements and other details of formwork before purchasing. Formwork systems are used very frequently during construction, and choosing different formwork materials can determine the initial capital as well as the long-term cost of the project. For project managers who need to balance quality, durability and cost, it is important to understand these contents.
 Must I use a tag system on a scaffold?
 Although tag systems are not a legal requirement, the law does require inspection of scaffolding from which a person might fall 2 metres or more and the issue of a report by a competent person, on completion and at least weekly thereafter. A risk assessment may find the need for more frequent inspection of scaffolding.

You can prevent falls during the erection of scaffolding by using an advanced guard rail system. Where this is not practicable, workers should wear harnesses to arrest their fall.

When considering the direct supervision of a scaffolding gang i.e. a working foreman, leading hand etc, the operative in this role must be qualified to the grade of CISRS Scaffolder as a minimum requirement.

For more complex scaffold structures, a CISRS Advanced Scaffolder must undertake direct supervision of the gang.
