Standards are the vertical tubes that carry the load to the ground. Ledgers are horizontal tubes along the length of the scaffold. Transoms are short horizontal tubes across the width that support the boards. Braces give stability. Base plates and sole boards sit at the bottom, and ties fix the scaffold to the building. Couplers join the tubes.
A standard is a vertical tube that transfers the load to the ground. A ledger is a horizontal tube running along the length of the scaffold, connecting the standards. A transom is a horizontal tube across the width, fixed to the ledgers or standards, which supports the scaffold boards.
A scaffold tag shows whether the scaffold is safe or not safe to use, usually with green for safe and red for do not use, and sometimes yellow for restricted use. It shows the date of the last inspection, who inspected it, the safe working load or duty, and the location or scaffold number.
A scaffold must be inspected by a competent person before it is first used, at intervals not exceeding seven days, after any alteration or damage, and after bad weather like strong winds or heavy rain. Users should also do a quick visual check before each shift.
Base plates spread the load from each standard over a bigger area, and sole boards spread it further into soft ground. Together they stop the standards sinking or slipping and keep the scaffold level and stable. Sole boards are needed on anything except solid concrete.
Use only scaffolds with a green tag, keep guardrails, mid-rails and toe boards in place, use the proper ladder or stair access, wear a full body harness clipped to a strong point when erecting or dismantling or where edge protection is missing, secure tools and materials, keep platforms clear and never climb on guardrails.
