Scaffold Safety Inspection Checklist

by Stephen Hill, from the Community

This scaffold safety inspection checklist helps supervisors and inspectors evaluate scaffold bases, geometry, platforms, bracing, materials, handrails and toe boards, access and ladders, loading, ties, and sheeting. It prompts checks for secure boards, correct couplers, adequate handrail heights and toe boards, safe access, even load distribution, and properly fixed ties. The template also covers TG20 21 design compliance, notes and media capture, a summary of findings, and an action section requiring defects to be addressed within seven days or areas to be taken out of service.
