Scaffold Introduction and Guideline_TUV
Stability of Scaffold
A scaffold should not be used unless it is properly constructed and is suitable for
the purpose for which it is required and has been inspected.
Where the scaffolding exceeds 2m in height, each contractor (including subcon-
tractors and the self-employed) should be satisfied that the scaffold has been
inspected by a competent person within the previous 7 days and should therefore
ask to see the report of the inspection.
Users (including contractors and workers) who discover a serious defect in a scaf-
fold, which may adversely affect their or another’s safety, should stop using that
scaffold and report the defect to the site management.
