Scaffold Handover Form and Checklist
Use this scaffold handover template to record critical details and sign-off at the point of handover. Capture project information, load ratings, and scaffold vicinity, then verify base setup, standards, ledgers, bracing, and guardrails. Check platforms for edge protection, planking, kickboards, hop-ups, and gaps, and confirm containment sheeting and wind loading where required. Validate access and egress, ladders or stairs, and that access tags are fixed and completed. Cover loading bays, tie registry and tensioning, and note any remedial actions. Finally, complete representative and client sign-off to provide a clear, auditable handover record that supports site safety and compliance.
