Scaffolding Safety Toolbox Talk: SG4-22

Deliver a concise toolbox talk on SG4-22 scaffold safety. Cover the Advanced Guardrail System for collective fall protection, dual guardrails on all platforms, safe access via approved ladders or stair towers, and routine inspections before use, weekly, and after changes or severe weather. Reinforce training, RAMS awareness, clear communication, and reporting defects. Use AGR during erection and dismantling, maintain edge protection, and never use unprotected platforms. Apply these controls to reduce falls, improve efficiency, and stay compliant.
