Criteria of Supported Scaffold
- Fork-lifts shall not be used to support scaffold platforms unless the entire platform is attached to the fork and the fork-lift is not moved horizontally while the platform is occupied.
- A competent person should inspect each section of the scaffold system.
- Supported scaffold poles, legs, posts, frames, and uprights shall be plumb and braced to prevent swaying and displacement.
- An element of security is the balance of the scaffold system.
