The Top Violations on Scaffolding Sites
One of the most common scaffolding violations involves using scaffolding made of substandard materials that don’t meet OSHA standards. In addition to that, scaffolding is often not properly secured, leading to instability. Finally, there’s the issue of workers not being required to wear harnesses, which is crucial to keeping them safe while working at heights.
The Importance of Proper Scaffolding
Improper scaffolding can result in tragic accidents. It’s critical that scaffolds are securely built and regularly inspected. If they are poorly constructed or fail to meet required standards, workers can fall, leading to serious injuries or death. It’s essential that construction companies adhere to OSHA regulations to prevent these incidents.
