Why TagSafe is important
Residential scaffold inspections are critical for ensuring worker safety and preventing accidents on construction sites.
43%
of all construction site accidents in 2021 were scaffolders. Up 2% on 2020
Scaffolds must be tested and inspected on a regular basis to identify potential problems and avoid accidents that can result in serious injuries or even death.
INJURIES TO THIRD PARTIES
Statistics from: nasc.org.uk
In 2021, there were four incidents reported for injuries to third parties. These related to falls from height by materials (2), falls from height by persons (1) and slips and trips on the same level (1).
Residential scaffolding
Scaffold safety
is our utmost priority
TagSafe prioritises scaffold safety because we understand the serious risks that can result from unsafe scaffolding practises. A fall from a scaffold can result in serious injuries or even death, which is why every precaution must be taken to ensure worker safety. We inspect and test scaffolds on a regular basis to ensure that they are in good condition and can support the weight of workers and materials. By emphasising scaffold safety, we hope to create a safe and healthy working environment for all construction and maintenance workers.

- A description of the scaffold type inspected
- Details of any hazard identified that could cause harm to the user
