Abstract

The construction industry is known to have high risks of accidents and fatalities worldwide. Therefore, ensuring safety and efficiency in construction is crucial. One of the significant components of construction safety is the use of appropriate scaffolding systems, which provide support and access for workers during building construction, renovation, and maintenance. Metal scaffoldings are widely used in construction due to their durability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use. This study aimed to investigate the safety practices, efficiency, factors affecting the use, and challenges associated with the use of metal scaffoldings in construction projects in the Fourth District of Quezon Province. The findings revealed that safety practices related to the use of metal scaffoldings in construction are vital and require proper training and regular inspections. Availability, cost, quality, and compliance with safety standards were also identified as important considerations in the use of metal scaffoldings. Therefore, investing in high-quality, well-maintained scaffoldings, providing proper worker training and education, and ensuring comprehensive safety programs are necessary to address the challenges and issues associated with the use of metal scaffoldings in construction projects.
