Since the Work at Height Regulations 2005 came into force the industry have seen rapid growth of innovative safety products that are collectively improving safety standards.

Over the coming months I will highlight some of these innovations in a series of featured posts.

ScaffGap ‘The Scaffold Platform Gap Bridging System’

When a scaffold is erected with inside boards you always have that ‘age-old’ problem with the gaps between the standards. The measures previously to combat this hazard were strips of plywood cut down and nailed to scaffold boards which intern causing a trip hazard…not anymore!

ScaffGap solves this ‘age old’ problem using there simple but effective Scaffold Platform Gap Bridging System. The product which is made from 100% PVC-U is strong lightweight, reusable and recyclable.

ScaffGap’s conception was born out of the requirement to address the serious inherent risks on working platforms. It has taken two years of research and development to reach their final production of ScaffGap.

ScaffGap has an international patent pending and design copyright.

ScaffGap limited was founded in July 2009, The two directors and shareholders have over 30 years experience in the scaffolding industry and are both practising health and safety professionals. ScaffGap was also a finalist in the SHP IOSH awards 2009

ScaffGap’s ultimate aim is to incorporate the product into a working platform as an every day integral component, as is toe-boards and guard-rails.

There product will provide a safe solution to the millions of people who use scaffold platforms as a daily place of work, thereby reduce the risk of injury.

The product is already being widely used and recognized by some of the largest and leading UK scaffold companies which include: Cape Industrial Services, Hertel, NSG UK Ltd, Palmers Scaffolding, Trad Scaffolding and Benchmark Scaffolding to name but a few.
