Inspect the full scaffold from base to top before any work begins. Attach a red prohibition tag if any critical item fails.
A pre-use inspection checklist for scaffolding on UK construction sites, aligned with the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and NASC guidance (TG20, SG4). Covers foundations, standards and ledgers, bracing, platform boards, guardrails, access, ties, and scaffold tagging. Must be completed by a competent person before each shift or after adverse weather.
Scaffolding falls remain one of the most common causes of serious injury on UK sites. This inspection takes 15-20 minutes per scaffold and provides the documented evidence that the HSE expects to see.
