Scaffold Protection Guide
When working at height on a scaffold system of any kind, it is crucial to have a working method in place to protect pedestrians & staff. It is also an opportunity to market your company, as products that protect the scaffold can be manufactured with a bespoke logo, allowing for a great advertising opportunity for your business.
