The scaffolding sector has undergone rapid change in recent years, marked by the arrival of increasingly high-performance and technically advanced equipment. While this technological progress brings many advantages, it is also accompanied by a growing concern for safety on construction sites.
The safety of people working on construction sites has become a major concern for both user companies and official bodies. This awareness has led to a tightening of the legislative framework governing scaffolding-related activities.
Faced with these complex and constantly evolving challenges, user companies often find themselves at a loss, not always knowing where to turn for advice and appropriate training.

The decree of September 1, 2004, incorporated into the French Labor Code in 2008, on the use of work equipment for temporary work at height, requires personnel to undergo “appropriate and specific training” (article R.233-13-31). It is therefore urgent for professionals to comply.

As the person responsible for employee health and safety, it is up to the site manager to determine whether there is a risk of falling, by carrying out a risk assessment. In doing so, he or she complies with the general principles of prevention set out in article L.4121-2 of the French Labour Code.
