What is the Role of a Scaffolding Supervisor?

02-Mar-2022 10:17 AM

        Supervisors must hire crews, supervise assembly and disassembly of scaffolding and ensure scaffolding is assembled properly and safely. A scaffolding supervisor works hand-in-hand with a construction site supervisor to estimate the number of scaffolding sections required to complete a job and arrange for the scaffolding to arrive on site.

        In addition to selecting the scaffolding materials, the scaffolding supervisor decides how many employees will be required onsite to assemble it. The supervisor is responsible for making sure all safety standards are adhered to while assembling the scaffolding. Upon completion of the job, the supervisor is responsible for taking down and removing the scaffolding.

      Scaffolding supervisors are typically employed by a larger construction or construction supply company. However, some supervisors set out on their own and become subcontractors. The scaffolding supervisor has a variety of responsibilities, including not only ensuring the scaffold is set up and taken down safely, but also protecting the job site and the workers assembling it from injury.

      Supervisors are also responsible for completing reports that detail the performance of their team, the condition of the scaffolding and the overall condition of the job site. The owner of the business must receive these daily reports.
