1017   Scaffolds: General Requirements   (DVD)

Scaffolds are used in construction for both interior and exterior work, and accidents occur frequently. While fall hazards account for a high percentage of injuries and fatalities, additional hazards include structural instability and overloading. These hazards can be minimized or controlled by proper design and construction of scaffolds.

This video explains the proper use of scaffolds, including:

• qualified persons
• design and construction
• loading capacities
• locating, bracing, and planking
• climbing and descending the scaffold
