Scaffolding Safety
|
Scaffolds can provide a safe and more efficient way to work in construction, but their use is also one of the leasing causes of injuries on construction sites. It is important to recognize scaffolding hazards and make sure every scaffold is set up and used properly. NAHB has two new scaffold safety videos (English and Spanish). Now is the perfect time to watch them with your employees and subs as part of National Safety Stand-Down May 7-11 to prevent falls in construction. It’s important to follow jobsite safety practices all year. Think #safety365
