SCAFFOLDING BEST PRACTICE #15 – Scaffold User Inspection
In addition to regular formal inspections (often daily or pre-shift) by a Certified Scaffolding Inspector, all scaffolds should be inspected by the Scaffold USER just before use. Scaffold Users are looking for VISIBLE, EXISTING and PREDICTABLE hazards, such as damaged or loose components, snow, ice or process materials, electrical hazards, etc. All discovered hazards must be reported to, and corrected by, a Competent Person.
