Only employees who have been properly trained to do so may work from scaffolds.
Do not use scaffolds that do not have proper guardrails, mid rails and toe boards (as appropriate).
Do not overload scaffolds. Follow the manufacturer’s or construction coordinators safe working load recommendations.
Do not climb cross braces. Use only approved access ladders or steps and use both hands while climbing. When climbing, always maintain three points of contact.
Do not stand on guardrails, ladders or makeshift devices on top of scaffolds to gain greater height.
Never use scaffolds where contact can be made with live electrical circuits or power lines. Always maintain safe clearance from any electrical source.
Never apply shock loads to the scaffold platform. (Never jump down onto the platform.)
