Abstract
A device for detecting a contaminant on a scaffolding pole. The device includes an outer detector for detecting a contaminant on an outer surface and an inner detector for detecting a contaminant on an inner surface. The device also includes a mechanism for transporting a scaffolding pole through the device, past the detectors. A contaminant is detected on the outer and inner surfaces of the scaffolding pole using the outer and inner detectors respectively.
Claims20
A device for detecting a contaminant on a scaffolding pole, wherein the device comprises:
- an outer detector for detecting a contaminant on an outer surface of the scaffolding pole;
- an inner detector for detecting a contaminant on an inner surface of the scaffolding pole;
- and
- a transport mechanism for transporting the scaffolding pole longitudinally through the device past the outer detector and past the inner detector.
A method of detecting a contaminant on a scaffolding pole, wherein the method comprises:
- transporting a scaffolding pole longitudinally through a device past an outer detector for detecting a contaminant on an outer surface of the scaffolding pole and past an inner detector for detecting a contaminant on an inner surface of the scaffolding pole;
- and
- detecting the presence of a contaminant on the outer and inner surfaces of the scaffolding pole using the outer and inner detectors respectively.
