Yes, we hold a $20 million public liability policy. We are happy to provide our Certificate of Currency upon request.

Macro Scaffolding only uses licensed scaffolders as per the legislative requirements. We use basic, intermediate to advanced scaffolders. We always use experienced scaffolders that have worked across a range of scaffold environments including residential, commercial, industrial and mining. We have scaffolders that have worked in the industry for over 20 years and are accustomed to leading and supervising teams as well as training of apprentices and scaffold labourers.

Macro Scaffolding ensures compliance with relevant model codes or practice and WHS legislative requirements. We adopt a safe work methodology set out in SafeWork publications such as “Erecting, Altering and Dismantling Scaffold – Part 1: Prefabricated steel modular scaffolding”

We ensure that there are continuous edge protection supporting workers and materials. We use equipment such as gin wheels and scaffold bags to ensure that components are safely transported around the project and at heights. All scaffolders are required to use belts/toolboxes to secure their tools. We do not overload scaffold decks when working. We have workers trained in the use of safety harnesses and can implement use of these fall prevention systems on specific jobs that are certified as suitable. We adopt a pre-planning practice whereby other contractors and members of the public are excluded from work areas to prevent risk from scaffold work overhead.

We have our team leaders and supervisors take workers through the SWMS (Safe Work Method Statement) controls at pre-starts to make sure that they are constantly reminded about safe work practices.

Our Scaffold structures are certified at handover by conducting a walkthrough and final inspection by our licensed scaffolder and the nominated personnel of the principal contractors.

We carry out both fortnightly and monthly scaffold and we provide inspections and provide detailed report that specify issues and necessary rectifications with photos both before and after and a requirement for sign off by the principal contractor upon further walkthroughs. As per legislative requirements all our scaffold tags are inspected, updated and photographed.

No, we provide a full-service solution which includes delivery, installation and removal.

As we own our own scaffolding equipment, we don’t have to hire additional equipment to make up any shortfalls. We also have our own workforce so we don’t have to outsource expensive agency labour. Our experienced and expert consultants are able to engineer cost-effective solutions. Plus, we really want your business and we are prepared to work hard to earn it.

Macro Scaffolding conducts quality assurance and safety inspections of all scaffolding components before and after use and storing. We have our own warehousing personnel that systematically inspect all components regularly to ensure that all equipment remains safe and fit for purpose. Our Licensed Scaffolders are also trained to inspect components on site during erecting and dismantling and any components that are identified as unfit for use are removed, tagged, isolated, recorded and reported to warehousing team for further action.
