Scaffolding Industry
Protecting Scaffolders as they work at height
Scaffolders working at height must be protected from falls from height, whatever the fall distance and be confident in the rescue provision in place should a fall occur.

Load safety is road safety
When transporting scaffold equipment to and from site, poorly secured loads pose a serious risk to the driver, other road users and the public.

10. Containment Nets Smaller fittings must be contained to avoid 'bouncing' loose.
SpanSet - supplying the Scaffolding Industry.
The scaffolding sector is a harsh environment for both workers and their equipment.
Scaffolders deserve equipment specifically designed for the unique and complex work scaffold erection and dismantling is. Equipment should be tough and of a quality built to last, plus of course traceable, making inspection and remaining compliant straightforward.
SpanSet understand the above and offer a wide range of products, training and inspection services to the scaffolding industry.
Height Safety Equipment for Scaffolders
SpanSet design and manufacture a wide range of height safety equipment specifically designed for scaffolders at our factory based in Middlewich, Cheshire.
Some examples of what we offer -
Harnesses
Lanyards
Safe Lifting on Site
For the modern scaffolder, worker safety is of the highest priority.
Dropped objects when lifting equipment on scaffolding is a serious hazard and measures should be put in place to avoid the risk of items hitting workers below the lift. The use of ‘gin wheels’ for example should be consigned to history.

Load Safety is Road Safety
When transporting scaffold equipment to and from site, poorly secured loads pose a serious risk to the driver, other road users and the public.
Scaffold poles and boards must be safely secured and restrained so they cannot move during the journey. SpanSet supply a wide range of both traditional (push up) and premium ergo (pull down) ratchets - all manufactured by us, here in the UK to BSEN 12195. Indeed, SpanSet invented the original ratchet lashing, commonly referred to as 'spansets' on construction sites.
Scaffold fittings and other smaller items must be contained to avoid them 'bouncing' loose should the lorry hit a pothole etc. SpanSet design, manufacture and supply a range of rated containment nets produced to EN1263-1 to fit securely over stillages and prevent this problem.
