Summit Scaffolding Auckland
Summit Scaffolding Auckland with branches in Auckland, Waikato, Northland, and the bay of Plenty strive to attain a ‘squeaky clean’ health and safety record by initiating intensive and ongoing staff certification and training keeping themselves ahead. All Summit crew are certified to Site Safe NZ competency – many exceeding the basic requirements.
In addition, Summit’s supervisors all hold next level Site Safe Gold Cards; many also holding international qualifications as extra certification along with many years of experience.
As a result our highly qualified team at Summit Scaffolding has attained injury risk management statistics that confirm their excellent workplace safety record.
Listed below are some of the many installation precautions we take to enable this safety record:
- 1000mm wide platforms that provide a safe, weight–sensitive and stable base
- Edge protection and guard rails that keep workers safe and materials enclosed
- Mobile scaffolding used as an alternative to extensive scaffolding to provide fast, safe, easy access to all project work areas
- Temporary fences that keep tools and equipment secure, hazards enclosed, and passing public safe
- Roof protection adjusted to the pitch angle preventing falls and protecting ground staff
- Shrinkwrap to weatherproof buildings and to contain pollutants, dust and debris
- Propping (falsework) that provide appropriate support equipment to uphold structures
