Scaffolding is a momentary platform constructed for reaching heights above arms' reach for the purpose of building construction, maintenance, or repair. Scaffolding is generally made of lumber and steel and can range from simple to composite in design, depending on its use and purpose. Millions of construction workers, painters, and building maintenance crews work on scaffolding every day, and due to the nature of its use, scaffolding must be properly constructed and used to make sure...

Please can anybody tell me if bund wall standards are legislated - if so, which Act is it or is it a SANS standard? Where is it stated in writing that a bund wall should be able to contain 110% of the contents of the tank/container in the event of a leak or burst.

Once again as I am busy with auditing our sub-contractors safety files, I realize how many 'safety consultant crooks' there are in the industry.

Contractors pay anything between R1000-R4000 per file in good faith that the files they purchase is compliant with legislation as well as Client specifics. In 98% of the cases however, the file is generic and most often only a repeat of legislation without an actual 'plan' on how to execute the job at hand. I've found sections...
