by Matthew Zulim, from the Community

Use this checklist to verify critical controls before working at heights on scaffold platforms. Confirm team risk assessment, platform tagging and tie-off, barricades and exclusion zones, handrails and kick plates, safe access and fall protection, and harness inspection. Mark each control as Controlled, At Risk, or Not Applicable, and pause work to correct any missing protections. This template supports safer operations in high-risk environments but does not replace professional advice.
