FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 16, 2012 -- Construction accidents are not uncommon. Many of those accidents involve scaffolding injuries because scaffolds are part of nearly every construction project, whether they are being used in the construction of a home, an apartment building, an office building or a business complex.

There are strict rules which should be adhered to when scaffolds are installed and used. In fact, a qualified person, as defined by Cal-OSHA, should study the safety code requirements, the load, and the bracing on each job site and on each scaffolding.

A properly designed scaffold should have levels accessible to employees and regulation-sized planks. A properly installed scaffold should have fall protection, including proper bracing, safety harnesses and guardrails.

Parties generally responsibility for scaffolding safety include not just the subcontractor who designed and installed the scaffolding, but also the general contractor who must make sure that safety meetings are being regularly held at the construction site and that all scaffolds are properly inspected before use.

Scaffolds are used by a variety of subcontractors on site, including masonry, painter, drywaller/plasterer, and stucco subcontractors. When a scaffolding is not properly installed or fastened, it can collapse or fall over. If proper bracing is not used, then employees can fall off of the scaffolding. When these event occur, they often results in serious injuries to the employee using the scaffolding.
