At what height do I need a scaffold?

Hello Everyone,

If you haven’t read our recent blog you can read it now. Below is a snippet of the blog to get you started.

Although simple to use and easy to erect, one of the main drawbacks of ladders is their instability at height. Working on a standard ladder, even with additional support, becomes risky once extending above a few metres. Some types of ladder, for example the step ladder, are unsuitable for use at even lower heights, as they are simply not designed with adequate safety features. Weight capacity can also be a problem as it can restrict usage to light, one handed tools when working on standard ladders.

So where do you draw the line between using a ladder and using some form of scaffold?
