Company Overview
K.J. Industrial Scaffolding has over the past twenty years maintained a steady controlled growth through providing a safe, highly responsive and well managed scaffolding service. This growth has been through client’s recognition of the high level of service provided by our company and by client’s recognition of the need to engage a provider that has safe systems of work, a quality system and environmentally conscious.
A positive step that we have been able to achieve over recent years has been the establishment of a scaffolding traineeship that will benefit K.J. Industrial Scaffolding, our clients and the industry. K.J. Industrial Scaffolding has recruited 31 scaffold trainees so far 5 of which are still in training. The company believes this is the best way to have a controlled growth of industrially trained scaffolders. We also obtained funding from the DECT to offer additional Scaffolding and Rigging classes at Wollongong TAFE in order to introduce new entrants and increase the pool of skilled labour available to the community.
K.J. Industrial Scaffolding is recognised as a leader in scaffolding safe systems of work and again as the leader in the establishment and engagement of the first ever recognised scaffolding traineeships (Certificate III). It is our intentions that our company will maintain our position as the leader in scaffolding service in the region and beyond. Our philosophy to maintain and develop our systems and lead the industry in work practices and training will ensure K.J. Industrial Scaffolding are recognised as the provider and employer of skilled labour. As part of our on going culture our company has also trained scaffolders/riggers as gas watcher/confined space watchers so that we can manage our own work hours and are not interrupted by the breaks. There is also a great safety benefit as K.J. Industrial Scaffolding gas watchers are able to climb scaffolds and ensure the environment that the scaffolders are working in is safe.
All of the company’s employees are supported by K.J. Industrial Scaffolding Safety Management System. The company employs two fully qualified and certified safety officers, who ensure that the induction program and critical procedure training is carried out in accordance with customers requirements.
K.J. Industrial Scaffolding is recognised by Workcover as a leader in scaffold safety and has played a leading role in the establishment of the working at heights procedure for BHP Steel (now BlueScope Steel) and is a member of the International BlueScope Steel Falls Prevention Committee. Our Company has passed the third stage of the Workcover premium discount scheme and this discount will now flow onto BlueScope Steel.
