scaffolding regulations

Scaffolding regulations are safety rules that ensure proper design, erection, use, and dismantling of scaffolds to protect workers and the public. They require assessments of stability, adequate access, regular inspections, quality materials, and trained personnel. These standards help prevent accidents like falls or collapses by setting clear guidelines for building and maintaining scaffolds, ensuring they are safe throughout their use. Compliance is monitored by safety authorities to reduce risks on construction sites and other elevated work environments.
