Who is responsible for erecting and dismantling the scaffolding?

While some scaffolding rental companies offer erection and dismantling services, others only provide the equipment. Clarify this with the rental company:

• If the Rental Company Handles Erection/Dismantling: Ensure they are licensed and insured to perform this work.
• If You Hire a Separate Contractor: Verify their qualifications and insurance. The scaffolding company might have recommendations for reputable erectors.

Never attempt to erect or dismantle scaffolding yourself unless you are a trained and competent scaffolding erector.

Do I need insurance to rent scaffolding?

It's highly recommended to have insurance coverage when renting scaffolding. While the rental company typically has insurance to cover their equipment, it's essential to protect yourself from liability in case of accidents or damage:

• General Liability Insurance: Provides coverage if someone is injured or property is damaged due to your use of the scaffolding.
• Worker's Compensation Insurance (if you have employees): Covers medical expenses and lost wages for employees injured while working on the scaffolding.

Check with your insurance provider to confirm your coverage and discuss any additional insurance you might need for your scaffolding rental.

What is the difference between single and double scaffolding?

Single and double scaffolding refer to the width of the working platform:
Single Scaffolding:

• Has a single working platform, typically about 60-70cm wide.
• Suitable for tasks where limited space is available.

Double Scaffolding:

• Has a wider working platform, usually about 1.3-1.4 meters wide.
• Provides more working space and stability, allowing for movement of materials and multiple workers.

The choice between single and double scaffolding depends on the project's requirements and the available space.
