You're working on the scaffold? 6 rules to follow
A high-quality scaffolding system is already the first good step towards being able to work safely at height. But your behaviour on the scaffold is also crucial to ensuring that everyone goes home safe and sound at the end of the day. If you pay attention to the following six rules as a team, you can help each other to work safely on the scaffold.
A brief history of scaffolding
Scaffolds are an essential part of modern construction and are used in a wide variety of applications. From small-scale building projects to large industrial projects, scaffolding provides a safe and stable platform for workers to perform their tasks – and has done so for millennia.
New regulations for co2 reduction in the maritime industry
To achieve the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement, the industry is now facing far-reaching changes. This also affects Scafom-rux customers, for example in the maritime industry. Here, the year 2023 is marked by decarbonisation. This is because the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) new carbon regulations have been in force since 1st January 2023.

Scaffolding in the infrastructure sector - types of scaffolding and challenges in bridge construction
Bridges inevitably reach the limits of their service life at some point. The result is necessary renovation and renewal. Of course, this also poses one or two challenges for scaffolding. Read on to learn what needs to be considered when scaffolding bridges and what type of scaffolding is used for which application case.
Scaffolding in the maritime industry - the beginnings of shipbuilding
Nowadays, it is completely normal that scaffolding is used when working on ships and boats. But like scaffolding itself, shipbuilding has a long history. During this time, the way people build their vessels has naturally evolved a lot. We want to take a closer look at this and take you on a short journey through time to the beginnings of shipbuilding.
ISO 9001 certification - advantages and certification process at a glance
They often hang framed in the entrance area of a company building or are at least mentioned on the company website: the ISO certifications that a company has received rarely go unmentioned. We at Scafom-rux have also recently received our ISO 9001 recertification. But wait: what does it actually mean when a company is ISO certified? Read more about the benefits of ISO certification here.
More safety in scaffolding: advanced side protection on the scaffold
The principle of advanced side protection is coming more and more into focus to improve saftey in scaffolding. Some exciting solutions for the implementation of advanced side protection on the scaffold have already been brought onto the market. We would like to introduce you to two of them.
