Safety

A ticket is not competence

Anyone can hold a card. We check that our people are actually competent and safe in the work they are doing, on the site they are doing it on.

Behaviour Observations

Undertaken at every site. Not a paperwork exercise: an observation of the work as it happens, to confirm our team members do not just hold a ticket but perform the work safely and competently.

Training matrix

Kept for every team member and regularly updated, so no qualification quietly lapses and we always know who is current on what.

Refreshed to standard

Work Safely at Heights and Confined Space competencies are refreshed at the industry standard of every two years, not left to run to expiry.

Designed out, not managed around

The largest safety decision on any job is made before anyone climbs anything.

An advanced scaffolder assesses the site, the access points and the hazards, and designs to what is actually there. A competent structural or temporary-works engineer then verifies it. Our designs comply fully with the relevant regulations, which minimises your risk of incidents and of regulatory fines.

Scaffold that fits the job also gets altered less once it is standing, and alterations are where a great deal of scaffolding risk sits.

Needs Chris. This page is thin without numbers. A lost-time injury figure, days or years without a recordable incident, an audit result, or any certification held beyond SAA membership would each do more work than every paragraph above. Competitors publish these. Nothing has been assumed here, so the page states only what is verified.
