MEET THE TEAM
REDUCE YOUR SCAFFOLD SCOPE
Scaffolding is a necessary part of any mining project, but it doesn’t have to break the bank.
SafeSmart Access understands the complexities of on-site shutdowns and maintenance tasks. With over two decades of experience servicing the mining industry, SafeSmart Access developed the scaffold reduction audit to minimise scaffold requirements and implement efficient access without compromising safety, budget and mobility.
By streamlining operational and maintenance processes, the scaffold reduction audit process has been instrumental in the success of many large mining companies worldwide. The outcomes of these audits have resulted in significantly reduced downtime, enhanced worker safety and efficiency and eliminated unnecessary labour and material.
Advantages of completing a scaffold reduction audit include:
- Significant reduction in subcontracting requirements
- Lower risk and the amount of scaffold structures on-site
- Reduce staff outlay to subcontractors
- Improved work methodologies and reduced downtime
- Decreased labour requirements
- Reduction of scaffold material stored on-site
