WARSIGN™ Scaffolding Tag
The Work at Height Regulations 2005 applies to all work at height where there is a risk of a fall liable to cause personal injury.
The scaffold must be inspected prior to being used for the first time, following exposure to weather conditions likely to have affected its strength or stability, after substantial addition, dismantling or other alteration and at intervals not exceeding 7 days from the date of last inspection.
The WARSIGN™ system with its unique holder and insert system ensures all are aware of the current status of the structure. A WARSIGN™ should be fitted at all legal access points (normally ladder access) from the first build stage and is to remain on the structure until dismantle thereby communicating a safety message to all.
How It Works
Stage 1
A holder displaying prohibition is attached permanently to the scaffolding structure at all legal access points.
Stage 2
Structure is inspected to ascertain if it passes inspection. If it passes, the insert is completed and placed into the holder. If it fails, the holder remains in prohibition displaying “Do not use Scaffold”.
Stage 3
Scaffold structure is re-inspected and, if it passes inspection, the status insert is updated and placed into the holder.
