Nice looking blocking lift. If they had secured the ladder properly it would be a top job. Good to see some in the UK still take a pride in their work.

Edge protection required where someone could fall cozzy. In Australia that would be considered above grade and scaffolders would have to utilize fall protection equipment.

As someone who has fell off a few kerbs after leaving the pub they should be mandatory.

Many a scaffolder has broken his ankle stepping off a kerb whilst intoxicated.

TUT, no internal fall protection :nuts:

They have some air beds on the inside

Years ago we were working for one on the major house builders whose site manager could not plan ahead and wanted scaffolders on site every day regardless if there was any work for them or not.
One day we told him that there was nothing for the scaffolders to do for a few days so he booked in ten complete detached houses for kicker lifts. (With authorisation from his QS) The highest one was just 9" off the floor.
I expect he had a roasting when his directors next paid a visit.

We used to do loads of blocking lifts years ago. On our knees in mud and ***** so that the brickies didn't dirty their daisies....things don't change do they ?

 

[SWIFTY]

In those days a few boarded out pallets was enough.

 

[Havespannerwilltravel]

We used to use blocks and bricks for the lift. We used the pallets for stacking our gear on.
To be fair we didn't handrail them

 

[Tony Mason]

Don't seem to many blocking lifts now. The ground workers stone it whacker it. Level and firm.

 

[marra watson]

Can't see any bracing on the standards or sway braces, tut tut !!

 

[steelcitycowboy]

must admit you don't get much lower than that would say wet knees sore back scratched knuckles and plenty of ratchet work there

 

[Rigger]

What a load of b*llocks

The guy that ordered that "scaffold" needs certifying and taking off site in an ambulance to his padded cell
