British scaffolder here I’ve gotta say that scaffold is absolutely shocking especially the way you displayed those boards, you set so many traps along the way I’m quite surprised none of your guys hasn’t fallen through. There’s no double handrail you didn’t fully board out the lift, and you certainly didn’t tranny (transom)out the lift below to support the boards so all and all the scaffold is a Gappy fucking mess. If you tried this here in the U.K. you’ll go to prison for 12 years with a slapping £100,000 fine
Scaffolds don’t get judged or inspected till after completion, we are in the process of installing , if all the netting isn’t up then that means the scaffold not complete that’s obvious to anyone with common sense in this trade.
bx_mello2.0 That’s crazy every scaffold should be inspected at the end of the day, lives depend on that scaffold anything can go wrong and every scaffolding engineer is responsible it’s such a dangerous trade. And please don’t take my comment the wrong way, just be careful up there
Ivan drago once said ‘ If he dies, he dies ‘ And may i had if this is how you work over the pond im guessing there are many deaths in the scaffolding industry
People moaning about the type of scaffolding being used, but that modular shit looks like a good idea to me, lightweight, and looks very sturdy. Never seen it in the UK.
Yeah. It's mental I ain't a scaff. I'm a site manager but hell if I saw a scaff doing anything like this on any of my jobs they'd be out on their arses 😆
@@Lewdog38 no way😂ask anyone with experience… you can manipulate tube and fitting and build whatever you want, system scaffold you are restricted what u can build.. it’s well known tube and fitting is the best way 🤷♂️
@@Lewdog38 i agree but you're gonna come across jobs that you have too use tube n fitting, system is great for the bulk of the work but anything intricate you're falling back on tube n fitting, 20yrs on the tools in the uk i used cuplock, kwikform, allaround, plus 8 for vast majority of jobs and tube n fitting for any add ons canterleverrs and stuff.
you dudes are real men, the comment section here is full of people complaining, they don't realise your balls will break your fall if you slip, their balls are so tiny they are barely a man, just know they do a job a woman could do, those who claim to be scaffolders probably did it for a month, quit to answer phones for a living but still claim they're an expert so it sounds like they did have a pair of balls at some point in their life
Naw tube and fitting? Cuplock or pinlock. Strongest out there. You can hag and do whatever. Most versatile. But ya frame is jankey af. Here on the west coast they only use that to build around houses.
My first 5 years doing scaffolding was in Florida then Texas , all we used was pin lock system scaffold. All I did was hangers, soon as I moved back to NYC to do scaffolding, i was a little uncomfortable but quickly adjusted and found out that it was just a money thing. System scaffold is a lot more expensive. System scaffold is mostly used for staircases when workers need more space to hoist up material by hand. The walk through frames what they call ( pipe scaffold) is traditional for all companies and majority of jobs in NYC. The material uses less components and goes up faster. Most workers don’t tie off at all but if you chose to the only piece strong enough on the frame is the thickest blue bar.
Dude these guys are speaking English ! That says a lot !!!!!!!!! Risking their lives to go home to their families in USA it’s so hard I was doing brick laying for union only on a 6 story and even the union with all the “safety “ they do dangerous ass shit
why doesnt the guy below (stood on boards) seperate the boards then pass them up one by one? instead of dickin around up high with hammer and shit all to stand on.
Ummm wow. How on earth do you get away with working like that! Over here in the UK the HSE would be shutting you down before you could even blink and fining and or chucking each of you into prison. As a site manager if i even saw a scaff attempting to work like that theyd be off site.
If you tell me that it is a poor country in Latin America I believe you, but the fact that it is in NYC leaves me quite shocked...many people have to die there. At least in Europe we have certain security guarantees in a job that is already very dangerous.
What's amazing is how no one has reported this to building code or OSHA, I say that to say this...everyone else is punished or looked at with extra scrutiny when an accident occurs. Yes, you may have gone so many years without an accident or fatality but when it does happen everyone else pays the price..not to mention the poor soul that was duped into thinking "this is the way". I just hope yall's life insurance is up to date. Your family shouldn't financially suffer from stupid decisions. Smh.
Damn wonderful video was very interesting to watch in Uk you boys would be classed as handy men as this isnt scaffolding in our language Hammer and nails is more of a chippys thing and them lifts you are installing are similar to what our brick layers put up themselves must say im surprised USA has such A flimsy poorly designed system. What was the scaffold for???
You wouldnt get away with this in the uk, you would be considered cowboys this could be qorst scaffold system ive seen and i work in scaffolding health and safety. Would love to know new york construction fatalities rates suprised by the usa for allowing this
I wouldn’t even class this as scaffolding. The US probably don’t have a clue how to use tube and fitting scaffolding so they’re just labourers at best and not scaffolders
Let’s be honest tho, that type of scaffolding is terrible. Come to the uk and try build a scaffold you wouldn’t know where to start with tube and fitting
those spearchuckers can't even speak english they are just slapping it together like its back in chimmichangaland, they got their people in all the positions in new york so they get all the work and more and more american cities look like the dungheaps they came from. this country is a sh*thole
I live in the UK. Don't use tube and fit, only system and pissed my part 1 and 2 doing tube and fit. It's a piece of piss and I'm sure these guys would piss it aswel.
We was extremely high and undermanned plus formans was constantly switching and not communicating properly. I did my best and got paid that , that’s all that matters to me and my family.
Oh my God I'm going to be polite but How the f$## do you do that job half the time you don't seem to use a harness my legs are going and I'm sitting on my sofa you really do have huge ball's 😂 be f@#$#@ careful
Literally seen better and safer scaffolds in Thailand and Bali, crazy that this is allowed in one of the biggest cities in the world, the USA really don't give a f*** about there construction workers. Would get sent to jail for 6 consecutive lifetimes if we posted that here in Australia. Not a dig at the scaffolders you guys are doing a good job with the cards your dealt in that country, the blame goes to your lack of regulatory bodies like WHS or OSHA.
This makes absolutely no sense to me, here in France our scaffolding is so much safer, easier and faster to build I don’t understand how in a developed country like USA you guys use this weird scaffolding
This material is a lot cheaper and they had it so long they don’t wanna give it up. System scaffolds are only used by some companies only if it’s extremely necessary.
Crazy how far behind in the times America is with health and safety 🤯

Kiwi scaffy here american scaff gear is shit stick too layher or tube n clip wtf is that shit looks weak asf
The type of scaffolding just looks way under strength
When you would work in gernany like that they would close youre Company for life time.Totaly crazy with the lose boards
Same in the UK.

It’s the same here in u.s use your heads…they are erecting..not working off.
Well one wrong move and it's half a day with the undertaker .Fred Dibnah.

I will admit the stair package is dope
At least they're wearing their safety harnesses.
Next time you want to go up that high, take the elevator. Mad respects for all of you.
Take it they don't have SG4 over there?Absolute crazy the way they are allowed to scaffold.
Yeah. It's mental I ain't a scaff. I'm a site manager but hell if I saw a scaff doing anything like this on any of my jobs they'd be out on their arses 😆
OMG 😳 My husband is an electrician in NYC. He records some amazing views also but not like this! So amazing. Be careful up there! 🙏🗽💙 New sub
Thank you 🙏🏽 💙
Dump the electrician and find yourself a scaffolder😂😂

Tube and fitting for light work platform and tight space. System for large and heavy work
Wow nice work thanks for posting stay safe
I only use one board while building if not working off that deck no need for two just more to pack around not bad guys
Why so many anchor points? Do you need to use more when you’re a certain height?
Every three frames high we tie then every frame on that vertical line.
Not a chance. Even if i was tied off!
Work moderately and pay ateention to safety.
You anchor into the joints? Anyway, fred dibna would be proud.
I’m a London Scaff .. How much they get paid in NYC? …. don’t look like they need much training over there . A weekend at Legoland should suffice 😂

What is this scaffolding used for.
Building maintenance , complaints of pieces of brick and concrete falling.
Why is it so far away from the building?
@@staffieloco8114 the space is needed to install side brackets
I wonder how many people have been killed from falling debris🤔

The scaffold was used for maintenance repairs
Two planks on each section crazy their psychos😊
Why they working like they got free healthcare
Scaffolding in England in 50s was more advanced than this shit 😂
what sort of bullshit is this. frames tied with rope and workers with safety hamesss without tying onto anything
That style scaffold frame sucks though past a couple stories tall system scaffolding is way better
