Check that the scaffolding platforms are fully planked and free of any gaps or holes.

Ensure that the planks are in good condition, not cracked or warped.

Verify that the platforms are tightly secured to prevent movement.

Guardrails and Fall Protection

Inspect all guardrails on the scaffolding and ensure they are installed at all open sides and edges.

Verify that the guardrails are securely fixed and at the correct height.

Check that the guardrails have a mid-rail and toe-board to prevent objects from falling.
