PLUS EIGHT SAFETY
Safety should be seen
 If
you do not feel safe, you do not work safely and this is dangerous. You feel
tense, use the wrong muscles and get aches and pains.
Scaffolders and construction workers have height to contend with in addition to
all the usual safety traps. The higher you go, the greater the need becomes to
feel safe. But feeling safe is not enough. You also want to be able to see with
your own eyes that everything is as it should be.
You need be able to check at a glance that connections are locked, guardrails
are in place and all "holes" and pitfalls eliminated. In addition, of
course, you also want to experience safety in the job itself.
This ability to visually carry out inspections also makes the job of the Safety
Inspector quicker, easier and simpler and this is no small factor when one
considers that all scaffolds in the
UK
require a mandatory weekly inspection.
In the
USA
, before every work shift.
Security when you move, exactness when you build and stability in the
connections are vital criteria. You really want to feel just as safe when
working at a height as you do when working on the ground.
+8 is safe
With +8, all the features of
an ergonomic scaffold interact. +8 is an optimum system with immense
versatility. Strength, safety and stability are achieved using a few
well-balanced lightweight components connected vertically and horizontally with
unique patented connectors.
All components are secured by + 8's wedge system with visual safety where
the wedges never loosen unintentionally through vibrations, etc. Standards and
frames are joined by +8's sleeve joint with an external sleeve that is
stronger than the standard, thereby eliminating the common practice/need of
staggering joints. +8's connecting device not only gives the scaffold
stability and strength but also allows it to follow the most
"impossible" facade without any dangerous "gaps" in the
structure.
