scaffolding safety regulations

Scaffolding safety regulations ensure that scaffolds are properly designed, erected, maintained, and dismantled to protect workers from falls and accidents. These rules specify standards for the materials used, proper support, guardrails, safe access, and regular inspections to identify hazards. They also require trained personnel to handle scaffolding tasks and enforce load limits. By following these regulations, employers reduce the risk of falls, collapses, and injuries, creating a safer work environment for everyone involved in construction or maintenance activities at heights.
