 🏗️ SCAFFOLDING SAFETY — HAZARDS, RISKS & CONTROLS



 

⚠️ TOP 10 SCAFFOLDING HAZARDS:

 

1️⃣ Fall from height → Use full guardrails & fall protection

2️⃣ Scaffold collapse → Competent erection + bracing + load limits

3️⃣ Falling objects → Toe boards, secure tools, barricade below

4️⃣ Unsafe access → Secure ladders, clear access routes

5️⃣ Overloading platforms → Distribute loads, follow safe working load

6️⃣ Defective components → Inspect before use, remove damaged parts

7️⃣ Electrical hazards → Maintain clearance from power lines

8️⃣ Adverse weather → Stop work in wind/rain, keep platforms dry

9️⃣ Inadequate inspection → Inspect before & after use, tag unsafe scaffolding

🔟 People working below → Exclusion zones, warning signs, barricades

 

💡 REMEMBER: Safe scaffolding = Competent erection ✅ Proper inspection ✅ Safe access ✅ Load control ✅ Good housekeeping ✅ Supervision ✅

 

Plan • Inspect • Protect — Work Safe, Stay Alive!
