Toolbox Talk - Scaffold Structure Safety

Why should we be talking about scaffolding safety?

A scaffolding safety toolbox talk should be at the top of the priority list for most construction and industrial companies.

Scaffolding consistently ranks as one of the most incident-inducing pieces of equipment and activities on industrial sites - and continues to cause thousands of injuries and deaths on these sites the world over.

One of the major dangers of scaffolding is that workers on-site become complacent working on and around it. And for good reason, scaffolding is a central part and mainstay on almost all sites - so people get used to it.

But it's this type of complacency and lack of safety awareness that can cause serious injuries and even deaths.
So, in addition to the very real dangers of scaffolding, a scaffolding safety toolbox talk enables companies and toolbox talk coordinators to cover scaffolding safety in an informal yet relatively comprehensive manner.

When you are conducting a scaffolding safety toolbox talk, workers can provide feedback on the current state of the scaffold, and any site-specific hazards they have noticed - and foster a discussion around the importance of maintaining high scaffold safety standards.
