🪜 Ladders and Scaffolding

Scaffold Platform Safety

Even a well-built scaffold is dangerous if the platform isn’t secure and used correctly.

Falls from scaffolds often result from unstable or misused platforms. These toolbox talks cover OSHA platform requirements, proper planking, load capacity, guardrails, access points, platform tie-offs, and debris control. Use them to train workers on how to recognize unsafe platforms, maintain safe working surfaces, and avoid common mistakes that lead to falls or scaffold failure.

Lead toolbox talks on scaffold platform safety to reinforce OSHA standards, prevent falls, and ensure every elevated work area is properly secured.
