My goal is to raise awareness of the dangers when using a scaffold tower, there is a great deal of advice, protection and legislation  available to protect professional construction workers covered by the Work at Height Regulations,  however very little information is aimed at the general public, it’s astonishing that Joe Bloggs can hire an  aluminium scaffold tower and have it delivered to his house and be using the tower without any training for scaffold tower erection or use, along with no knowledge regarding how dangerous the equipment can be.

The Construction Information Sheet No 10 regarding safety and scaffold towers can be found on the Health and Safety Executive website here
