What is important before you execute the work • Have trained personnel (competent person) • Know your tie-off points for fall protection • Need the correct material in good working condition • Know the application! What size to erect and how much weight will be supported by scaffold (take in consideration the workers weight)
Continued • Have the correct crew size! • Evaluate the area for hazards and communicate with crew (JSA) (Permit) • Have a plan to execute the work in the safest manner possible • Once the scaffold is complete, the scaffold will be tagged according to the hazards by a competent person.
