20+

This Form 32 Risk-Based Audit Checklist for Scaffolding helps teams assess scaffold safety and compliance on site. It covers worker competency (per DOSH requirements), inspection tags and revalidation, electrical clearance, platform condition, guardrails and toeboards, access and egress, ladders and braces, and suitability of supporting structures and anchorage. Use it to identify defects, remove unsafe scaffolds from service, verify proper barricades and signage, and confirm adequate sole plates, netting, and outriggers. Ideal for construction sites seeking consistent, documented scaffold audits.

Scaffolding Safety Inspection
This Scaffolding Safety Inspection template helps teams verify scaffold safety and compliance after installation. Capture general site details, scaffold type, and photos; confirm solid foundations, base plates, and sole plates; check height-related controls, guardrails, midrails, and toe boards; review geometry alignment of standards, ledgers, and transoms; assess platform supports, board security, and overhangs; verify bracing, tubes, fittings, and couplers; ensure safe access and ladder setup; evaluate loading limits, distribution, and material stacking; inspect ties and anchorage; and confirm scaffold tagging, inspection frequency, and sign-off by authorized personnel.

Scaffolding Safety Inspection Checklist
This scaffolding safety inspection checklist helps verify that a newly installed scaffold is safe for use. Capture general details, confirm a solid base and correct base plates and sole plates, and check that height and guardrails meet regulatory requirements. Inspect geometry, platforms, and bracing, ensure tubes and fittings are in good condition and properly tightened, and confirm safe access with correctly positioned ladders. Review load capacity, even distribution of materials, and adequate ties. Verify guard rails and toe boards, and ensure a current scaffold tag is displayed and completed. Record issues, add photos, and document recommendations to maintain site safety and compliance.

Scaffolding Inspection Checklist
This scaffolding inspection checklist helps teams plan, erect, and maintain safe scaffolds on site. It covers pre erection reviews by a competent person, site hazard evaluation, barriers for incomplete structures, and required paperwork including handover certificates, inspection tagging, and recorded checks. Field prompts verify footing and public protection, traffic and crane controls, and structural integrity such as level setup, ties and bracing, load distribution, debris protection, and component condition. Access and egress are checked for ladders and stairways, along with platform suitability, guardrails, toeboards, and secure planking. Optional containment sheeting considerations address wind loading and fixings. The checklist also guides actions for unsafe scaffolds and records inspector details.
