Falls from elevated workstations are one of the top causes of injury and death among American workers. That’s why the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has strict requirements companies must follow to make workstations such as scaffolding as safe as possible.

Employers on Oahu and Maui can rely on Atlas Sales Company to provide quality scaffolding equipment and safety training on every construction project. As Hawaii’s largest supplier of scaffolding equipment, they understand OSHA regulations and will help train workers and employers on scaffolding safety.

For example, OSHA requires companies to provide fall protection whenever employees are working above equipment or machinery, regardless of the height. Employers must provide guardrails and toe boards around open-sided elevated platforms. They also must issue safety harnesses, safety line, safety nets, and other precautions depending on the type of job and elevation.

Scaffolding creates a stable, solid platform on which workers walk and work while elevated anywhere from a few feet to hundreds of feet off the ground. Atlas Sales Company offers Scaffolding Industry Association-approved safety training programs to make sure no worker falls from the equipment.

As specialists in scaffold services, Atlas Sales Company offers frame scaffolding, system scaffolding, suspended platforms, and multipurpose scaffolding. Companies also will find a large inventory of concrete and masonry equipment, easily transportable wall forms, and more.
