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.
