Loading ...Scaffold Safety Tips 101
Working on scaffolding is very common in the construction industry and we could a use a little update on some of the things to keep in mind. I can also say that these tips are non-negotiable. Just do it.
* Use scaffolding based on manufacturer’s instructions.
* Do not mix scaffolds, frames and components from different manufacturers.
* Always place scaffolds on stable ground.
* Make sure to lock scaffold wheels when in use.
* Don’t use ladders on top of scaffolds to increase height.
* Remember to outfit all open ends of scaffold platforms with proper guardrails, midrails, and toeboards.
* Never work on scaffolding during strong winds or storms.
* Don’t use scaffolds as storage for tools or materials.
* Never move scaffolds while in use or occupied.
* Always wear a hard hat and sturdy, nonslip shoes when working on scaffolding.
Do you guys have any other tips we may have missed? Or any handy tricks for that matter?
