When it comes to working from heights, safety needs to be the number-one concern. Figures released by Federated Employers Mutual Assurance Company (FEM) have shown that, on average, 36 people are injured daily on construction sites, of which “falling to different levels” accounted for a large percentage. This is attributed to using ladders and unsafe scaffolding practices.
Whether you are doing a home build, doing renovations, or constructing a business park, the safety of workers must always come first and this is achieved by using secure scaffolding on site. With all the different types of scaffolding solutions on the market, as a first-time contractor, the choices can be quite daunting. Instead of spending unnecessary hours doing research on each type, choose Kwikstage – the benefits and safety aspects of this scaffolding are numerous.
Safely Navigating Heights
Budgets are the backbone of getting construction done in a specific time frame. Cutting down on costs should not filter down to the type of scaffolding used on a construction site. Ensuring the safety of workers, especially those working at an elevated height, should always be of paramount importance. Steel scaffolding is designed to be used at great heights as it renders excellent strength, making it structurally safe for workers.
With no loose fittings, few basic components, and simple maintenance, workers can carry out their different jobs knowing that this scaffolding has been tested according to the highest industry standards and is guaranteed to safely hold workers as well as their equipment.
Revolutionary and Cost Efficient
As Kwikstage scaffolding has no loose fittings, the captive connector means reduced losses and increased productivity compared to the traditional scaffolds. Having few basic components makes this scaffolding more compact, allowing for easier storage and transportation to construction sites. Most of the connections are made with wedge fixings, which are very simple to use, leading to longer product life and minimum service costs.
Simple, Safe, and Versatile
Unlike other scaffolding systems, the simplicity of Kwikstage makes it possible for it to be erected without the need for specialised training. The flexibility of Kwikstage scaffolding allows for easy use around any building and construction sites. Compared to most scaffolding, the strength of Kwikstage supports many workers simultaneously, thereby enhancing overall productivity.
Kwikstage has proven to be the most efficient scaffolding solution. Due to its many advantages, Kwikstage scaffolding is being used at construction sites across the country.
