Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
-
What is the difference between a first mechanic scaffolder and a mechanic scaffolder?
A first mechanic scaffold erector and a scaffold erector are both professionals who are involved in assembling and dismantling scaffolding on construction sites and other locations. The difference between a first mechanic scaffold builder and a mechanic scaffold builder is primarily based on their responsibilities and duties within the scaffolding company. A first mechanic scaffolder has more responsibilities and duties than a scaffold erector and generally has more experience and knowledge of the trade. A first scaffold erector has a more coordinating and managerial role and is responsible for supervising the scaffold erectors in their work. He or she is also concerned with preparing work plans, planning the work, preparing risk analyses, checking the quality of the work and keeping records. A scaffold erector, on the other hand, has mainly executive duties and is responsible for assembling and dismantling scaffolding according to instructions and safety regulations. He or she works under the direction of the first scaffold erector and performs his or her duties based on work plans and instructions prepared by the first mechanic. -
