Mobile Scaffold Inspection Checklist

Using scaffolding for construction sites poses many safety threats for employees. Fall, collapse, and overturn are some common hazards related to scaffolding. A mobile scaffolding inspection on a regular basis ensures that all scaffolds are safe to use and potential hazards are minimized.
