Considerations for Scaffolding Spirit Levels
Length
Able to Attach to a Lanyard
As was mentioned above, one of the dangers with scaffolding is the risk of objects falling. Therefore it is important that the user be able to attach their level to themselves using a lanyard.
In order for this to be possible, the level must have a built in “hook” or “ring”. This is common practice today, and therefore as long as the user has a lanyard with which to attach the level, the risk of the level falling and injuring someone below is minimized.
Magnetic
Another useful feature which many levels offer is the ability to stick to the piece of scaffolding. Many levels have magnets, which can stick to many steel surfaces. This is of particular interest if the employee needs to make adjustments to the scaffolding.
With the magnetic level, they can place the level, perform the adjustments (normally with the help of a screw), and will know exactly when the piece they are working with is level.
Accuracy
Some levels are extremely accurate, but this accuracy comes at an additional cost. Thus it is important to choose one that provides sufficient accuracy, without costing too much.
Resistant to Heat and Static Electricity
Many levels are also more resistant to heat and static electricity. This is another important aspect depending on the climate you are working in.
If you work in an environment where snow and cold weather are part of the everyday routine, it is advisable to ensure that you purchase a spirit level which will not give false readings when the temperature drops below a certain level.
Can Mobile Apps Work?
One question that is often asked today is whether a mobile app can be used instead of a spirit level.
One of the pros to using an app is the fact that nearly everyone today uses a cell phone, and thus they always have it with them.
One of the problems with using an app is the size of the phone. As mentioned above, the smaller the level, the less accurate it is. Another problem with using a cell phone is that the phone might not be able to withstand the rain or dust which is present on a construction site.
Also, many phones have different “attachments”, which make them uneven. This can include items such as pop-sockets and rings. Therefore, a phone app can be useful when looking for small readings, however when looking for accurate readings, an actual spirit level is the best tool to use.
