Basic checks that one could make to minimise any risks include:

* Checking the ground conditions. E.g. Is the foundation firm, and never soft? If london scaffolding is erected on frozen ground, this might melt and commence to sink.

* Is the scaffold level and supported on proper adjustable stands.

* If this is a rolling scaffold, include the castors locked?

Any kind of scaffolding will be able to support around four times its intended load.

Your * platform will have to be complete side-to-side and sideways. Any planking or decking should never have gaps greater than 25mm (1%u201D).

* Toe boards and guardrails must be positioned on all open sides.

* All sections of scaffolding have to be secured or pinned appropriately.

* Safe entry to the scaffolding have to be provided which pun intended , the should climb over cross bracing. This can be a kept ladder.

Your * front face of any scaffolding must be 350mm (14%u201D) from the workface.

* Electrical wires have to be given the correct electrical safety clearance.

* All scaffolding should be inspected by way of a competent person before getting used.

* If your scaffolding has ended 3m (10%u2019) high, personal fall protection should be provided or even the scaffold needs to have handrails over 950mm (38%u201D) high.

* Anyone working near the scaffolding or on the scaffolding must wear a hard hat (in england it really is compulsory to deliver head protection/ hard hats on any site).
