Access towers or scaffold towers are used on many jobsites to aid workers in the completion of a project. While access towers are a great tool to make working easier, there are some safety precautions to keep in mind while using them.
What are access towers?
Access towers are temporary, mobile scaffolding towers that allow jobsite employees to work at height. These towers are freestanding and are required on many jobsites to safely give workers access to higher stories of a building.
What are the benefits of using scaffold towers?
Access towers provide many benefits on construction sites as they are a flexible, mobile and easy to install solution that makes working easier. An access tower can quickly be implemented or moved making them easily adaptable. Many scaffolding towers are rolling which makes it extremely easy to move from one section of the project to another.
How can access towers be safely implemented?
Scaffolding towers are often an essential for the construction of many buildings but can cause many injuries if they are not properly implemented. Towers should only be erected by competent people who have been trained.
The tower should be stable and properly secured before use. The tower should be resting on firm level ground and should be inspected before use by trained personnel. Towers should never be used at a height higher than what is recommended, and they should not be used during high winds.
