Drones can be used to check difficult - to-reach parts of scaffolds for safety standards and structural stability.

Be Ready for Any Emergence

Emergencies can still happen even with all the precautions taken. One must have a properly defined emergency response strategy in place. This includes having easily available rescue techniques, first aid equipment, and emergency contacts. Frequent exercises help to make sure everyone understands their part in an emergency situation.
