Scaffold Safety

According to the HSE, accidents on scaffolding involving members of the public due to unauthorised trespassing is on the rise due to the current trends:

• Climbing for fun
• Free running
• Live PokemonGo Running

The primary driver for Peabody and EQUANS, is your safety and that of other visitors and our workers. With this in mind, we would like to remind everyone that the following should apply:

• If you see anyone on the scaffolding outside of our working hours of Monday-Friday or at the weekend, please contact the Police immediately on 101
• Only employees of EQUANS and authorised client representatives are allowed on the scaffolding
• For safety reasons, any other persons on the scaffold will be deemed to be trespassing, which will mean that the Police will be contacted

If any trespassing issues are reported we will take punitive precautionary measures, which may include installing fencing to prevent access. This is something we don't really want to do but safety has to be a key factor.

If you have an emergency outside of our normal working hours (Mon-Fri, 8am-5pm), please call Peabody's Out of Hours Number: 0300 123 3456.
