WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?

“The employer who employs workers who will work on a scaffold ensures that these workers receive training that enables them to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for the performance of their tasks. This training relates in particular to:
  • the measures for the prevention of the risks of persons or objects falling
  • the safety measures in the event of changing weather conditions that could compromise the safety of the scaffold concerned
  • the conditions regarding the permissible load”. (Codex book IV, title 5)
