What is a Scaffold Tower?

A scaffold tower is a free-standing piece of equipment with a working platform to make access to heights .  A scaffold tower can easily be moved from one location to another,  are lightweight, mobile and compact, making them easy to transport and enabling versatility. Scaffold towers are a popular piece of equipment for working at height because they allow the user to safely carry out their work with both hands, unlike when using a ladder!

• You must perform a risk assessment before hiring and using an access tower to ensure your safety and the safety of others
• Do not use access towers where there are overhead power lines or similar hazards within your reach
• If leaving an erected tower unattended you must block access to the tower by unauthorised persons and that of the tower
• Use suitable mesh fencing or boarding to make access impossible. If you can’t use fencing then the tower must be dismantled
• Only carry tools and materials with you when ascending or descending the scaffold tower if they are safely retained in a tool belt and do not restrict your free
  movement
• Do not lean from the scaffold tower and never apply undue side force
• Never use boxes, steps or similar items to gain additional height on your scaffold platform
• When climbing, always keep your feet in the middle of the rungs and grip the upper rungs with your hands (never the sides!)
