Proper scaffolding setup is critical for worker safety.
Step 1: Inspect the Ground
Ensure the surface is solid and level. Use base plates and mud sills if needed.
Step 2: Assemble the Base
Install standards and ledgers securely. Make sure all joints are tight.
Step 3: Add Platforms
Place strong planks or metal platforms. They should be fully secured and not slippery.
Step 4: Install Guardrails
Guardrails and toe boards prevent falls and tools from dropping.
Step 5: Check Stability
Ensure the structure is straight, level, and properly braced.
Step 6: Final Safety Inspection
A trained supervisor should inspect the scaffolding before workers use it.
