Health and Safety

Safety pack

As standard all ScaffFloats come with:

  • A loading guide with maximum payloads and minimum freeboards
  • A stability assessment and stability guide board mounted onboard
  • A safety pack compliant with MGN 469
  • Edge protection handrails compliant with TG20:13
  • RAMS for the mob & de-mob
  • Build inspection report
  • App-based inspection software for daily and weekly checks
  • LOLER inspections & certificate (for floating cranes)

Handrails & Access

Unless specifically exempt, all our ScaffFloats are fitted with handrails and kickboards.

Handrails can come into contact with the structure, and if a hand is wrapped around the rail this can cause injury. Where appropriate we fit double handrails so the outer handrail comes into contact with the structure and protects the internal handrail used to hold onto.

Safety & Support Boats

ScaffFloat’s safety and support boats are durable and versatile Whaly boats that can be factored into an overall site rescue plan in a primary or supportive role. They are highly maneuverable, equipped with MCA-approved safety equipment, and manned by qualified personnel with MoB training.

Floating Welfare

We can provide pontoons which are specifically suited to take the weight of a welfare unit, with a stability survey conducted by naval architects to ensure it is safe and suitable with its higher center of gravity.

Work & Deck Lights

 

We can add an overhead gantry around the pontoon for work lights and to run cables clear of the deck. We can also extend this to provide a frame for tarpaulins to provide shelter from the rain or sun.
