Access
Safe access to the scaffold (via ladders or ramps) should always be provided. -
Training
Workers should be trained in scaffolding safety practices, including recognizing hazards and proper use of PPE.
Scaffolding is crucial in construction but can be hazardous if not used correctly, making proper safety measures and regular inspections critical to avoid accidents.
