Risk Assessment - Scaffolding

This document provides a risk assessment for scaffolding work. It identifies potential hazards such as falls, structural failure, falling objects, electrical shock, and injuries. Control measures are outlined to mitigate these risks, including using fall arrest equipment, inspection of scaffold components, restricting access under power lines, and wearing proper PPE. Planning, briefing, supervision and emergency procedures are emphasized to reduce risks from human error and unsafe work practices. Environmental conditions like wind strength are also considered to determine if scaffold work can be safely performed.
