This scaffold erection audit checklist is designed for audits where a scaffold is being built on site. It helps verify CISRS cards and RAMS are present, confirm TG20 21 compliance, check scaffold ties and Scafftag use, and document pull testing with Hydra Jaws and calibration. It covers permits to work and travel, vehicle safety items like fire extinguisher and first aid, and POWRA alignment with cordoned work areas. Inspect step access, base plates and sole boards, SG4 methods, foam protection, and ladder condition. Record COVID measures, attach photos, and complete sign off.

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.
