Scaffolders erect and dismantle working platforms which allow construction workers access to higher levels on existing buildings and structures during renovation or maintenance work, and to upper levels on new-build projects.
Scaffolders also use scaffolding techniques to erect permanent or semi-permanent structures for spectator stands, stages and other uses.
To add strength to the scaffold, cross-braces are placed at diagonals and where possible, clamps are used to tie in the scaffold to the building or structure. The scaffolding is removed once the concrete has set.
All scaffolders work in teams to strict safety standards and use a variety of hand tools and safety equipment including swivel spanners, spirit-levels, harnesses and hoists.
Scaffolders work indoors and outdoors, and at heights.
The work is physically demanding and scaffolders may have to work in cold, dirty or windy conditions.
The work involves a lot of climbing, carrying and lifting of heavy equipment.
Protective helmets, footwear and safety harnesses are worn.
Travel from site to site is required, as is working away from home for short or long periods.
Scaffolders work for specialist scaffolding firms, building contractors and oil and power companies.
Experienced scaffolders can earn up to 25,000 a year. Overtime and shift allowances will supplement income, while self-employed scaffolders negotiate their own rates. (Permalink)
