This Kwikstage Scaffolding Audit checklist helps trained and competent operatives verify scaffold safety from base to working platform. Use it to confirm tags and inspection currency, segregation of the erection area, condition of sole boards, base jacks, transoms, wedges, ledgers, and the base platform. Check braces, edge protection, guardrails, and access ladders, including tie-offs and required ladder extensions. Record findings, attach photos, note defects, and sign off to demonstrate compliance with current legislation and industry best practice.

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 Audit Checklist

Use this scaffolding audit checklist to verify TG20 compliance and safe use of scaffolds erected by contractors. Review scaffold tagging and dates, scaffold types and locations, footings and sole boards, standards, ledgers, transoms, and bracing. Check tie patterns, boarded lifts, guardrails, toe boards, and brick guards. Confirm fall protection (gates, trap doors, enclosures, staircases), safe ladder or stair access, and condition of tubes, fittings, and couplers. Assess proximity to power lines and lifting equipment like gin wheels. Record issues such as missing or out-of-date tags, missing guardrails, unsecured ladders, gaps in toe boards, or power cable concerns. Conclude with an inspection summary and sign-off to determine if the scaffold is safe to use.

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 Report Template

This Scaffolding Inspection Report template helps teams assess scaffold condition and compliance during routine checks. It covers foundations, footings, standards, ledgers, transoms, working platforms, edge protection, boards, bracing, ladders, public protection, ties, and beam work.
