Working at Height: Scaffolding Components Explained

Описание: Working at height remains one of the highest-risk activities in construction — and understanding scaffolding components is essential for working safely and legally.

In this video, we explain:

✅The key components of a scaffold

✅How each part contributes to stability and safety

✅Why correct understanding matters when working at height

✅How poor knowledge can lead to serious incidents and enforcement action

This type of practical safety knowledge sits at the core of effective risk management and competence — principles developed in qualifications such as the NEBOSH National General Certificate and the NEBOSH Construction Certificate.

NEBOSH-trained professionals are better equipped to:

✅Identify hazards when working at height

✅Assess risks associated with scaffolding systems

✅Ensure suitable control measures are in place

✅Meet legal duties under UK health & safety law

If you work in construction, supervise work at height, or manage safety on site, this is knowledge you cannot afford to overlook.
