SCAFFOLDING BEST PRACTICE #2: National Standards
As recent court rulings have proven, simple OH&S regulatory compliance may not be sufficient to protect your workers on the job. Both CSA (Z797 & S269.2) and ANSI (A10.8) publish national access scaffolding standards that are far more comprehensive and detailed than any North American health and safety regulations. Taken in conjunction with manufacturers’ technical manuals, industry “best practices”, site specific rules AND regulations – CSA and ANSI Standards form the backbone of every organization’s safe scaffolding program.
