Scaffolding Safety Toolbox Talk

This toolbox talk covers key scaffolding safety practices for construction crews. It explains planning for loads and platform width, safe access and egress, full planking, material stacking near standards, and the need for guardrails, intermediate rails, and toe boards above two meters. It reminds teams not to alter or remove ties and to report incomplete or unsafe scaffolds. It sets expectations for formal inspections after erection, after changes or destabilizing events, and at least every seven days, with findings recorded. Use this brief to reinforce safe behavior and reduce fall risks on site.
