Scaffold Inspection and Maintenance
The purpose of the Scaffold Inspection and Maintenance Checklist is to ensure the inspected scaffold is safe to use and remains in a safe condition. Inspecting scaffolds and scaffolding at a workplace is particularly important when the scaffold is in place for a long period of time. Scaffolds should be inspected before use and after any incident, repair, alteration or addition.
