Scaffad’s Commitment: A Deep Dive into Our Safety Measures
At Scaffad, safety is at the core of everything we do. As we acknowledge the importance of National Safe Work Month, we proudly reaffirm our ongoing commitment to building safer, healthier work environments for everyone in the industry. Safety isn’t just a requirement—it’s our responsibility. From construction signage to safety signage and beyond, our dedication to creating safe, compliant work environments for Australian construction sites remains unwavering. As part of the Experient group, we provide end-to-end signage solutions for the East Coast of Australia that not only enhance site aesthetics but also prioritise the safety and wellbeing of workers, visitors, and the surrounding community.
Ensuring Safety On Every Job
Every construction project presents unique challenges, and Scaffad is dedicated to ensuring these challenges are met with stringent safety measures. We take every precaution to make sure each job adheres to Australia’s highest construction safety standards. Here’s how we prioritise safety on every site:
Risk Assessments: Before installing any of our construction signage or promotional signage on-site, our team performs a comprehensive site evaluation. We assess potential hazards and determine the safest placement for site signs, mesh banners, and other signage solutions. This proactive approach minimises risks and ensures that every worksite is secure from the start.
Compliance with Australian Standards: All our safety signage is designed and manufactured to comply with Australian safety regulations. Whether it's corflute safety signs, hoarding, fence mesh, or printed mesh, we ensure that each piece of signage is clear, durable, and fully compliant. Our team stays updated on the latest safety standards to ensure our clients remain compliant throughout their projects.
High-Visibility Signage: To further promote safety, our large signs and temporary signs are designed for maximum visibility, even in low-light or challenging weather conditions. This includes the use of outdoor signage solutions like fabric mesh and big banners that help mark off hazardous areas, restrict access, and provide clear directions for wayfinding. Our safety signs are strategically placed to alert workers and visitors to potential dangers.
Durability and Weather Resistance: Australian construction sites often face harsh weather conditions, and our large format construction signage is built to withstand it all. Whether you're in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, or any other location on the East Coast, our signage company provides high-quality signage designed to last, ensuring that safety messages remain clear and effective regardless of the weather.
Key Safety Measures We Implement
As part of our commitment to safety, we implement several key measures on every project:
Proper Use of Signage: Leaning on our years of expertise working on construction sites, we ensure that safety signage is placed at critical points throughout the site, including entry and exit points, around high-risk areas and near heavy machinery. This helps prevent accidents by keeping workers informed and aware.
Clear Hoarding and Barriers: Our hoarding and temporary signs play a significant role in keeping non-workers out of hazardous areas. From fence mesh to building wraps, we provide clear barriers that protect both workers and the public.
Effective Wayfinding: On complex sites, clear wayfinding signage is essential for directing workers and visitors safely to their destinations. Our team ensures that wayfinding signs are easy to understand, durable and placed in the most effective locations to minimise confusion and promote safety.
Ongoing Training and Supervision: Safety isn’t just about having the right signage in place—it’s about understanding how to use it effectively. That’s why we provide ongoing training for our installation teams, ensuring that safety remains a top priority throughout the entire process.
Meeting Compliance Obligations
Scaffad is fully committed to helping our clients meet their compliance obligations. Our signage solutions are designed not only to comply with safety guidelines but also to help our clients avoid potential fines or project delays due to non-compliance. We work closely with site supervisors and compliance officers to ensure that all signage installations meet local council and regulatory requirements.
In addition to compliance, our construction signage and promotional signage are crafted with premium materials to ensure long-lasting durability. This guarantees that our clients' sites remain compliant for the duration of the project without needing frequent replacements.
