Handy hint: Leave a section of scaffolding platform open to enable the lowering of boards and other scaffolding components between levels.

It’s a good idea to store scaffolding components as close as possible to the work area; this will reduce distances over which loads have to be manually moved.

Never mix scaffolding components that are not designed to be compatible.

To find out the load capacity for scaffolding components check with the manufacturer.

Make sure that all selected scaffolding components are constructed to the requirements of the ANSI and ASTM.

A clamp connector is used to join two scaffolding components together rapidly and securely.

When dismantling NEVER drop scaffolding components from heights. As well as damaging the components it may cause injury or even death to persons below.

NEVER use damaged scaffolding components.

When estimating your budget on scaffolding, make sure not to put price before safety.

If guard rails are not provided when working on scaffolding over 10 feet, each worker must then be protected by the use of a personal fall protection system.
