Scaffolding safety

Scaffolding, construction and health
and safety specialists from across the
UK attended a free conference hosted
by international work at height
consultancy Simian at its dedicated
training centre in Warrington.
Representatives from some the
UK’s biggest construction and
scaffolding companies attended, as
well as sub-contractors, scaffolding
engineers and HSE inspectors.

Delegates enjoyed presentations
from Simian’s directors on a variety of
issues, including the forthcoming
NASC TG20:13 Scaffolding
Guidelines, the new Fee For
Intervention legislation, Temporary
Works Management and Scaffold
Rescue. Simian also held a range of
practical Rescue Plan demonstrations
using life-size dummies to illustrate
best-practice procedures.
