Overview
Scaffolding failures are a leading cause of construction site fatalities. This module ensures scaffolding is inspected at required intervals following erection, alteration, or adverse weather events. TG20 compliant inspection templates guide inspectors through comprehensive checks of standards, ledgers, bracing, platforms, and access.
Digital tagging systems replace paper tags that deteriorate in weather conditions. QR codes applied to scaffold structures enable instant access to inspection history, handover certificates, and loading information. Automatic 7-day inspection scheduling ensures compliance with regulatory requirements.
Handover certificates confirm scaffold suitability before use, whilst red/amber/green tagging clearly communicates scaffold status to workers. Integration with permit systems prevents work commencing on uninspected or defective scaffolding.
