Use this scaffold inspection template to assess scaffold design and safety against industry guidance and legal requirements. The checklist covers site details, design compliance, certificates, and tag use. Inspect foundations, standards, ledgers, transoms, couplers, bracing, ties, and overall stability. Verify working platforms, guardrails, toe boards, brick guards, and netting or sheeting. Review access and egress, ladder safety, loading bays, public protection, and housekeeping. Record defects by severity, note third party interference, and capture additional items such as gin wheel checks. Include handover certificates, anchor testing records, and manufacturer instructions where required. Conclude with observations, actions, and sign off.
