SCAFFOLDING
Why This Topic Matters
Falls from scaffolding cause serious injuries. Safe setup, use, and inspection are essential.
Key Reminders:
- Only trained workers must assemble or change scaffolding.
- Inspect daily — report damage or instability.
- Always use ladders or proper access — never climb frames.
- Stay within load limits — don’t overload.
- Guardrails & toeboards required if over 1.5m high.
- Keep platforms clean and clear of debris.
Remember
Scaffolding is only safe if built and used the right way.
If it’s loose, missing parts, or just doesn’t look right—don’t risk it.
Stop, report it, and make sure it’s safe before anyone climbs.
