The Most Dangerous Scaffolding Violations
The three most common violations in scaffolding safety are the use of cheap, non-compliant materials, improper securing of the scaffolding, and failure to provide workers with safety harnesses. These violations increase the risk of accidents on construction sites, putting workers at a higher risk of falling or being injured by falling debris.
How Violations Lead to Injuries
The result of these violations is often catastrophic. A worker may fall because scaffolding isn’t properly secured or because the materials used aren’t strong enough to support the load. In some cases, the failure to enforce the use of harnesses can lead to workers falling from heights without any protection, which can be fatal.
