Scaffold Inspection Checklist
Use this checklist to inspect your fire extinguisher to ensure it is up to standard in event of an emergency.
A scaffold is a temporary support structure that is built to help workers and equipment access high places. It is made up of platforms, stairs, ramps, and other components that can be quickly assembled. Scaffolds are used in construction, building maintenance, painting projects, and other work activities.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires scaffolds be inspected before use and after any incidents such as a fall or collapse. Inspections must be conducted at least once every seven days by a competent person trained in scaffold construction and safety rules. This person should look for broken or loose parts, corrosion or rust on bolts or fittings, damaged ladders or steps that could cause someone to trip or fall off the scaffold during use; anything that could create unsafe conditions for workers using the scaffold.
Inspectors should also check for corrosion on steel components such as posts and braces; along with metal fatigue caused by repeated bending over time as these components will weaken over time if not properly maintained by constant inspection for damage or signs of wear such as cracks in welds where metal has been joined together over time during regular use by workers using these structures during work activities on site. Use our scaffold inspection checklist to improve your safety standards.
