Can You Erect Scaffolding in Bad Weather?

Scaffolding and Strong Winds

High winds pose one of the biggest risks to scaffolding safety. At Hi-Point Access Ltd, we follow strict guidelines when wind speeds rise. If winds reach dangerous levels (typically 40mph+), work at height should stop immediately. Our team regularly checks local forecasts and performs on-site safety assessments.

What About Rain?

Rain isn’t always a deal-breaker, but it can make surfaces slippery, reduce visibility, and cause hazards. We make sure platforms remain stable and use anti-slip solutions where needed. If heavy rain hits Barnsley during your project, we’ll always prioritise worker safety over sticking to deadlines.

Cold and Icy Conditions

Winter months in Barnsley can bring ice and freezing temps. Icy scaffolding can be incredibly dangerous. We inspect platforms daily and may postpone work if surfaces can’t be cleared safely. It’s simply not worth the risk.
