- 3. What is Scaffolding? People who work at heights will often talk about and hear about scaffolding safety. This is because OSHA has developed regulations and recommendations that employers (who expect employees to work on scaffolds) must follow. The aim is to provide detailed guidance on the safe and secure use of scaffolds to minimize the hazards associated with scaffold use. For a complete understanding of the scaffolding safety requirements, enroll in our OSHA ScaffoldingSafetyTraining online course developed to meet the criteria set out by OSHA’s scaffolding standard 29 CFR Subpart L. Isn’t a scaffold and scaffolding the same? Yes, it is often used interchangeably and as befitting the context requirements of a sentence. However, scaffolding also refers to the different parts such as platforms, poles, ropes, wires, ties, guys, connectors, etc.; that are put together to make a scaffold. Hence, when we speak of scaffolding, it can also mean all the components of a scaffold. Scaffolding Safety
