• Helps you to comply with the Work at Height Regulations 2005
• Clearly identifies if scaffolding is safe for use
• Keeps a chronological record of all inspections conducted

The Work at Height Regulations 2005 and HSG150 state that scaffold should be inspected before first use; after substantial alteration; after any event likely to have affected its stability and at regular intervals not exceeding seven days.

Safe-scaff helps you to meet these obligations and provides a visible indication for all workers as to the safety status of the scaffold.

With the system housed in a hard surface writing board the scaffold inspector would simply work through the checklist checking each component in turn.

By indicating a cross or tick in the appropriate box they can determine if the scaffold is safe or not. As each entry is made, the information automatically copies through to the register underneath providing a chronological list of all inspections carried out.

Assuming the scaffold is safe, the checklist is removed from the board, folded in half to display its green reverse and is placed inside a waterproof plastic wallet in the scaffold safety indicator.

If a fault had been identified, this is detailed on the checklist and then passed to the Site Manager for action, leaving the safety indicator to identify that the scaffold is unsafe.
