Scaffold Safety — poster
Two-thirds of construction workers use scaffolds — and scaffold violations sit in OSHA's top 5 every single year. A scaffold is a structure, and structures fail when they're assembled wrong, overloaded, or modified by whoever needed a piece removed.
Before every shift and after any change or weather event. Look for full planking, plumb legs, base plates on firm ground, and locked casters.
Top rail, mid rail, toe board — or personal fall arrest. Missing rails are the single most-cited scaffold violation.
Removing a brace, plank, or tie to “get access” can drop the whole structure. Only the competent person authorizes changes.
Know the rated capacity — workers plus materials plus tools. Clear snow and ice before working. Stay off scaffolds in high wind and storms.
