1) Scaffolds must be designed and constructed to support heavy loads, with platforms that are fully decked and secured properly. 2) Inspections of scaffolds and their components must be conducted daily for defects to ensure structural integrity and safety. 3) Proper access, such as stairways or ramps, must be provided when platforms are more than 2 feet above or below an access point. Makeshift devices cannot be used to increase scaffold height.
