PRE-USE INSPECTION & SElECTION
To ensure that a scaffold is assembled in a manner that prevents its component parts from
being accidentally displaced at any time, it is important that the following checks are carried
out:
•
Ensure that all necessary components and safety equipment are available and
operational.
•
Each component should be visually inspected prior to use and should be free from
defects.
•
Steel components should be straight with no sign of corrosion, cracks or splits that
would impair strength or safety.
•
Deck locks should be in good working order; hooks should be free of cracks and
corrosion, and bolts should be tight and locking nuts fitted.
•
Stiles or Ply inserts should not be punctured or worn to a degree that would impair
strength or safety.
Damaged or incorrect components must not be used.
Pre-use inspection should ONLY be carried out by a competent person.
