Health & Safety

At B&A Scaffolding, health and safety are at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to upholding the highest standards of safety across all projects, ensuring the well-being of our team, clients, and everyone on-site. From initial scaffold design to final dismantling, every step of our process prioritises safety and compliance with industry regulations.

Our approach begins with comprehensive risk assessments on every project, and we rigorously follow established safety protocols in line with BS 5975 for temporary works and NASC TG20 guidance for scaffolding. Additionally, we strictly adhere to NASC SG4, which provides best practices for preventing falls from height during scaffolding operations. Our focus on SG4 ensures that all scaffolding is erected and dismantled with maximum protection against falls, minimising risks to both our workers and other personnel on-site.

Our entire workforce is CISRS (Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme) trained, ensuring that all operatives are fully qualified and capable of working to the highest safety standards. We also use the expertise of an external safety consultant, Vertex Training & Consultancy, to carry out regular site audits, offer guidance, and ensure ongoing compliance with health and safety regulations.

Leadership in safety is paramount at B&A Scaffolding. Our Charge Hands are SMSTS (Site Management Safety Training Scheme) qualified, ensuring that on-site supervisors are fully equipped to manage health and safety concerns in real-time. Additionally, our senior management team holds NEBOSH qualifications, providing a strong foundation in safety management and ensuring that every project is managed with safety at the forefront.

We believe that ongoing training is key to maintaining a safe working environment. We regularly conduct toolbox talks, safety briefings, and on-site inspections to reinforce safe working practices and keep safety top of mind for every member of our team. With a focus on continual improvement, we ensure that all our scaffolding structures are safe, compliant, and designed with the well-being of everyone on-site in mind.

At B&A Scaffolding, safety is not just a box we tick—it’s a core principle that guides everything we do. Our dedication to the highest safety standards ensures that every project is completed without incident, protecting both our team and our clients.
