Scaffold Handover Checklist
This scaffold handover checklist helps verify compliance and readiness before first use. It covers TG20:21 or design requirements, 7 day inspection validity, ties and anchor tags, base plates and sole pads, correct ladder access and hatches, bracing within 300 mm of node points, handrail heights at 470 and 950 mm, toeboards with minimum clips, platform board condition, trip hazards, and removal of spare materials. It supports sign off, reminds users of Work at Height Regulations 2005, outlines user responsibilities, and records that the scaffold should only be used and loaded as designed. Keep the certificate on site and retain records for compliance.
