TOOLBOX TALK

TALK NO: 10 DATE:

SUBJECT: SAFE SCAFFOLDS SITE:
PRESENTED BY:
WHAT ARE SAFE SCAFFOLDS ?

Safe scaffolds are scaffolds which provide a safe

working platform upon which various activities
can be conducted.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO ?

Ensure all platforms have sufficient hook-on boards.

Ensure toe boards are placed to prevent materials
falling to the level below.
Ensure the scaffold is provided with adequate access
steps to the working levels.
Is the structure secured? (I.e. if shaken does the scaff-
old move)

These would be quick checks on the scaffold. If you

were to climb on a scaffold which you felt was unsafe,
then you should report this to your foreman so that
the
trained person on site could verify it's safety and
correct the faults.
