Swing Stage Certification: Safety Starts Before Work Begins

When working on high-rise concrete restoration projects, safety begins long before a crew steps onto a swing stage. Proper certification, load calculations, rigging, and inspections are critical to ensuring the equipment and building structure can safely support the work.

Before a swing stage is put into operation, Carousel’s teams carefully consider factors such as boom loads and the pounds per square inch (PSI) applied to the concrete structure. These calculations help verify that the building can safely support the suspended access system and the work being performed.

Lifelines and rigging are equally important. All anchorage points must be properly secured, appropriately rated, and inspected by a competent person before work begins. These safeguards help protect workers while also ensuring the integrity of the structure and equipment.

At Carousel Development & Restoration, careful planning and adherence to safety standards are essential components of every restoration project. By taking the necessary precautions before work begins, our teams help create safer jobsites and protect everyone involved in the project.
