Use this comprehensive RPF Scaffold Inspection Checklist to assess scaffold safety and compliance on site. Verify work is completed by competent, licensed scaffolders; check certification for scaffolds over 4 m; confirm 30-day inspections and post-weather checks; ensure a current Scafftag is at access points. Review alignment, bracing, handrails, midrails, and kick boards; foundations and outriggers when height exceeds three times tower width; safe working load limits; tie-ins; and protection from vehicles and vandalism. Include checks for mobile scaffolds per manufacturer guidance and locked wheels. Record hazards and implement risk controls to keep workers safe.
