Scaffold Safety

Criteria of Supported Scaffold

• Footings shall be level, sound, rigid, and capable of supporting the loaded scaffold without settling or displacement.
• Unstable objects shall not be used to support scaffolds or platform units.
• Unstable objects shall not be used as working platforms.
• Many safety violations occur because improper equipment is used to support scaffold systems.
• Front-end loaders and similar pieces of equipment shall not be used to support scaffold platforms unless they have been specifically designed by the manufacturer for such use.
