Scaffolding Safety, Slip and Fall Hazards

Description:

Scaffolding safety is often hard to achieve, due to the structure's temporary nature. Just like any other work at-height, it is dangerous. But, because it is a temporary structure, more can go wrong with scaffolding. Avoid slip and fall hazards by inspecting it regularly.

OSHA requires all workers to be trained prior to occupying, building or moving a scaffold. Employees should also know if scaffolding might intersect with site hazards. Don't let scaffolding give you a false sense of security. Arrest systems and PPE are still needed. Even a short fall can be deadly.
