What are the causes of scaffolding accidents
With the gradual development of China’s construction industry, the demand for the use of scaffolding has also been increasing in recent years, and it is precisely in this situation that the market scale of scaffolding has also grown. With the development of the scaffolding industry, the number of scaffolding engineering projects has continued to increase, but with it, the safety problems of scaffolding engineering have also increased significantly.
1. Material use problems
At present, the materials used in the construction of formwork and scaffolding projects are mainly bamboo (wood) plywood, all-steel (combined) large formwork and steel pipes. Among them, the fastener-type steel pipe scaffolding is widely used for formwork support. However, the current leasing market is chaotic, with unqualified steel pipes and fasteners flowing into the construction site, coupled with inadequate material inspection by the project department, causing serious safety accidents.
2. Technical management of scaffolding operators
The first is the poor technical quality of the operators of formwork and scaffolding, and lack of relevant safety technical training. Shelf workers are mainly migrant workers, and most of them do not participate in pre-job training or the quality of pre-job training cannot be guaranteed. They have relatively little basic technical knowledge and lack the necessary safety skills. Second, the safety management of the project department is not strict, and the safety measures are not implemented properly, resulting in a harsh construction environment.
