Common Mistakes to Avoid When Using Scaffolding

When using scaffolding, common mistakes to avoid include improper assembly, which can lead to structural instability and accidents. Neglecting to use guardrails and toe boards increases the risk of falls. Overloading scaffolding with too much weight can cause it to collapse. Failing to conduct regular inspections can allow wear and damage to go unnoticed. Additionally, not securing the scaffold to a solid structure can result in it tipping over. Always ensure that workers are trained and follow safety guidelines to prevent injuries.
