The setting up and dismantling of scaffolding should only and always be done under direct supervision of somebody knowledgeable, competent, and very experienced in the matter.
Scaffoldings are structures that are temporarily erected for repair, construction or decoration of commercial buildings, homes or other edifices.
No matter whether you are erecting, moving or dismantling scaffolding. ALWAYS WARE A HARD HAT!
There are two primary categories of scaffolding, fixed and mobile.

If erecting scaffolding on a soft or suspect ground place sole boards underneath the structure. Ordinary boards could be used, however, they tend to be too long.
