If you have been involved in a scaffolding accident we want to hear from you.
If you have been involved in a scaffolding accident and it can be proven that your employer is to blame then we want to hear from you. Involvement in scaffolding accidents within the construction industry is common and is often caused by poor structure and a lack of proper safety checks. If you have been injured as a result of negligence by your employer then you may be eligible for compensation. Contact YouClaim and we will give you free expert legal advice and help you to claim compensation.
According to the Health and Safety Executive there are on average 150 scaffolding accidents per year, primarily from general access scaffolds (on average 118 injuries per year). Most accidents occur as a result of improper maintenance.
Common faults in scaffolding
- Missing base plates or rotten sole boards
- Bracing improperly attached
- Boards missing
- Ladder upside down or not attached properly.
The Construction Regulations (Health Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1996 state that full records of scaffolding inspections need to be kept for three months after completion of the work and that all scaffolds should be inspected by a competent person. It is when these inspections are not carried out properly that accidents can happen.
