Having our scaffolding systems certified fit for purpose is just half the equation. Summit’s team of installers must also understand, follow, and be conversant with industry-specific health and safety mandates. Each scaffolder is required to hold a current certificate of competence appropriate to the type of scaffold that is being erected, used, maintained, repaired, or dismantled. The term ‘competent’ refers to a person who has appropriate knowledge and skill – attained through training, qualifications, or experience – to carry out a specific task. Summit are pleased that our crew safely meet and/or exceed the benchmark requirements listed to don this term as their own.
Assisting our allegiance to those standards is governing body, SARNZ (Scaffolding, Access and Rigging New Zealand Inc) and Site Safe NZ. Our commitment means that Summit maintain our steady position at the forefront of all areas of health and safety within the scaffolding industry.
