TOOLBOX TALK 27/60: Ensure that Scaffolds are Constructed and Used Safely
Did you know…?
- Statistics show that over one-third of the serious injuries to workers in the building trades are caused by falls
from one level to another. - These accidents usually occur because someone is working or standing on an unsafe surface
(a makeshift scaffold) or using a scaffold incorrectly or working on one that hasn’t been put
up properly. - They may seem safe but they can be very dangerous.
