Where necessary, provide adequate continuous wood sills and ensure that they are not less than 50mm x 250mm (2” x 10”) and cover two frame legs in length. Never construct a scaffold on unprepared foundations. Complete jobsite hazard evaluation and amend your standard fall protection plan with site-specific requirements. When possible, always survey the job site to identify any potential hazard condition. Never use any equipment that is damaged or defective in any way. Only competent workers may construct scaffolds. Workers must be properly trained or instructed before they use equipment. It is recommended that these instructions are the subject of tool box meetings.

These guidelines do not purport to be all-inclusive or replace other additional safety and precautionary measures. The following are some common sense rules designed to promote safety in the construction of scaffolding.
