Tips to make Life Easier and Safer in Construction



Construction is always a big project with very many different aspects to be put into perspective before it actually begins. This is especially so in the event that adjustments are being made to a building. Most buildings are taller than your average person so it goes without saying that you will need some aides.

A stair scaffold tower could be the first thing on your list. It will keep you safe as you climb up and perform whatever activity at the top. You can use it to paint, do repairs and any other work required that is not doable without extended height.

When working on shorter heights that you still can’t reach on your feet podium steps are your best bet. They will provide you with proper support as you accomplish your task. They may look heavy but most of them are actually light enough to be carried by one person.

Scaffolding is just a fancy name for the temporary structure that one can use for support while carrying out a construction project or repairs. Whatever structure you see painters and construction workers climbing onto so as to carry out their task is scaffolding.

Seeing as scaffolding can sometimes be used at great heights it is important that it remains of good quality. With regard to a stair scaffold tower, the joints should be tight and firm. You don’t want it shaking around when you are a couple of feet in the air. The materials vary between steel, aluminum and even bamboo in parts of Asia! Aluminum is lighter than steel so it may be a better option.


Podiumsteps are used for low height jobs but they need to have a firm base. Support is paramount because without it you can easily fall into a bucket of paint or worse. The material should also be sturdy.

Scaffolding supplies should be obtained from a reputable supplier because your safety is very important. They include scaffold tubes, signs like ‘men working overhead’, protective clothing like gloves, overalls and hard hats.

When buying or hiring any scaffolding equipment be sure to inspect them for damage. The joints on a stair scaffold tower are detachable so check them for tightness. A little bend in the tubing may result in a large disparity in the stability of the tower because of its height.

Before you begin any project ensure that you have all the scaffolding supplies and that they are in good condition. Working with the proper equipment will ensure that you have the peace of mind to finish your project. The general idea is to maintain safety at all times while working with heights.
