Health & safety bulletin
Building A Mobile Scaffold Tower
4th September 2008
As part of our commitment to checking that our safe systems of work are compliant with The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999, we have recently completed our annual review of our training requirements, job safety assessments, safety method statements and risk assessments.
One area that provoked internal discussion related to how managers audit site operators when building mobile scaffold towers. This is particularly important to carry out accurately as ALL site employees are PASMA trained and the auditor may not be.
As you know, at Xmo Strata we have adopted the 3T (through the trapdoor) method of construction because we believe this to be the safest.
The attached “sharing best practice” guide has been developed to assist our auditors, who will visit and assess each team building a mobile tower during September and October.
If you have any queries as to the process detailed, please contact your supervisor.
