Scaffolding Safety Checklist
BENEFITS
Scaffolding is common equipment used in various industries, most notably construction, to give workers safe access to elevated areas. But scaffolding itself can pose a hazard to workers if, say, it isn’t erected properly, it’s missing key safety measures or workers aren’t using it correctly.
HOW TO USE THE TOOL
Adapt this checklist for the specific scaffolding requirements in your jurisdiction’s OHS laws. Use it to help ensure scaffolding has been erected properly, safety measures such as guardrails are all in place and workers are using the scaffolding safely.
