by Karl Tindale, from the Community

10+

Use this temporary works scaffolding inspection template to verify compliance and site safety. The checklist guides inspectors through design and handover documents, tie systems and testing, foundations and baseplates, scaffold geometry, facade and ledger bracing, access and egress, working platforms and boards, tubes and fittings, loading and material storage, and guardrails, toe boards, and brick guards. Record findings, note non conformances, and assign actions to ensure scaffolds are erected, used, and maintained safely throughout the project.

Pre Handover Scaffold Inspection Checklist
This pre handover scaffold inspection checklist helps verify scaffold readiness before handover. It covers TG20:21 compliance or design, baseplates and sole boards, signage and scaffold tags, housekeeping, geometry, transoms, platforms and board condition, bracing, handrails and toe boards, access and ladders, ties and testing, beams, sheeting, debris netting and brick guards, rope and wheel, and property access. Use it to identify issues, record findings, and confirm safe access and working platforms prior to sign off.

Evolve Scaffold Inspection Report Checklist
This scaffold inspection report template helps site managers and inspectors assess scaffold safety and compliance. It covers base stability, geometry, platform condition, bracing, tubes and fittings, safe access and ladders, load distribution, tie patterns, and edge protection including guard rails and toe boards. It also prompts Scafftag checks and proper sign-off by an authorised person. Use it to document findings and ensure scaffolds are erected and maintained for their intended use.

Scaffolding Audit Checklist
Use this scaffolding audit checklist to verify TG20 compliance and safe use of scaffolds erected by contractors. Review scaffold tagging and dates, scaffold types and locations, footings and sole boards, standards, ledgers, transoms, and bracing. Check tie patterns, boarded lifts, guardrails, toe boards, and brick guards. Confirm fall protection (gates, trap doors, enclosures, staircases), safe ladder or stair access, and condition of tubes, fittings, and couplers. Assess proximity to power lines and lifting equipment like gin wheels. Record issues such as missing or out-of-date tags, missing guardrails, unsecured ladders, gaps in toe boards, or power cable concerns. Conclude with an inspection summary and sign-off to determine if the scaffold is safe to use.

Scaffolding Safety Inspection
This Scaffolding Safety Inspection template helps teams verify scaffold safety and compliance after installation. Capture general site details, scaffold type, and photos; confirm solid foundations, base plates, and sole plates; check height-related controls, guardrails, midrails, and toe boards; review geometry alignment of standards, ledgers, and transoms; assess platform supports, board security, and overhangs; verify bracing, tubes, fittings, and couplers; ensure safe access and ladder setup; evaluate loading limits, distribution, and material stacking; inspect ties and anchorage; and confirm scaffold tagging, inspection frequency, and sign-off by authorized personnel.
