Risk Assessments and Method Statements from Scaffolders in Surrey and Woking
Professional Scaffolding Company

A scaffold structure is only as strong as its components. As genuinely local scaffolders, we use premium-grade materials to ensure our clients’ hire solutions withstand the rigours of their day-to-day operations. Our scaffolding company performs risk assessments, and we can provide method statements to help you comply with your health and safety policies. Our scaffolding erectors provide risk assessments and method statements for domestic, industrial and commercial scaffolding hire jobs in Chertsey, Camberley, Kingston, Maidenhead, Richmond, Woking and across Surrey.

If you have any questions about how we address site safety, our scaffolding systems, temporary roofs and other scaffolding solutions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

This side of our scaffolding service accounts for the factors required to create a stable structure, including:

  • Ground Conditions

  • Hazards

  • Access Requirements

  • Foundations

Risk assessments are used to establish what could cause harm, who may be harmed, potential hazards, what set standard controls there are and if any location-based or environmental hazards may pose additional risks. 

We then determine what can be done and detail the risks and required safety measures. Work can only commence once a risk assessment has been completed by one of our local scaffolders.

What Are Method Statements?

Method statements list steps required to complete an activity. Our scaffolding erectors complete this in sequential order and our scaffolding completes method statements at the same times as risk assessments.

To uphold rigorous safety standards, our scaffolding company must inspect structures as follows:

  • Immediately after assembly or before first use

  • Every subsequent 7 days thereafter

  • After events which impact safety, like extreme weather

Strict adherence to these and other regulations ensures the ongoing safety of our local scaffolders, your builders and tradespeople, and the general public.

We can arrange for one of our experts or a trained, qualified and competent person to provide tradespeople at your site with a toolbox talk. This is a short talk on the safe use of towers and scaffolding hire equipment. Our company wants you to be safe when working on site and never wants your actions to jeopardise public safety.

Our local scaffolders advise that you:

  • Never leave tools on the tower after a shift, overload the structure or use unstable objects, such as boxes or loose bricks, to increase your working height.

  • Never work on a platform without planks, guardrails, ties or extensions. Exit the scaffold immediately if you see missing components or evidence of tampering.

  • Never use equipment supplied by our scaffolding company in adverse weather. Do not climb in areas not meant for climbing, or with tools or materials in hand.

  • Never jump between scaffolds, reach outside the guardrails or throw anything overboard. Do not rock or move the tower while in use by another person.

If you have a project in Camberley, Chertsey, Kingston, Maidenhead, Richmond, Woking or across Surrey where your contractors will work at height, always use competent scaffolding erectors and professional scaffolding hire services. Your life and the lives of the personnel you employ lay firmly with your personal decision.
