Licence

We’ll start by looking at whether you require a licence for scaffolding. Scaffolders or builders may erect scaffolding inside the boundaries of a property. If they do this, they won’t need a licence. However, a section of the scaffolding may have to go onto the road or the pavement outside the property. In these cases, those in charge must obtain a licence from the local council.

Who needs to worry about health and safety?

Now it’s time to see who holds responsibility for health and safety. There could be a project taking place at someone’s house that isn’t connected to a business. In this scenario, those responsible for safety are the contractor, scaffolder, and builder. The rules change for companies, partnerships, or individuals performing construction for a business. According to The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, estate and rental agents, landlords, and property developers must suitably manage a project.
