A quarter of the deaths on construction sites in recent years have been
caused by improper scaffolding or installation failures. The Israeli
standard for scaffolding is very old, and the European standard has long
been adopted by the Israeli Standards Institute, but most contractors
prefer to use those old scaffolding and safety scaffolds to save costs.
The workers are not the only ones who pay the price, but also
pedestrians who are in vicinity of the construction sites. In this
article, you will also be able to identify the common scaffolds and
their failures in order to beware of them.
