Inspections

Scaffold and ladders

The register, and the inspection that keeps it current.

  • On the file

    The scaffold or ladder, the last inspection, and whether it can be used.

  • Duty

    Work at Height Regulations 2005

  • Where it is used

    At the access, before someone climbs.

What it does

  • Scaffold tagged, and inspected at the interval the job set.
  • Ladders and stepladders on a register, checked before use.
  • A scaffold that has not been handed over is not in use.

On the file

  • The scaffold or the ladder
  • The tag
  • The inspection interval
  • The last inspection
  • Whether it has been handed over
  • The pre-use check on a ladder
  • Whether it is overdue

Why digital

Against a paper file, a spreadsheet, or a folder in the cabin.

  • The last inspection is on the phone, not on a tag nobody can read.
  • Overdue is visible before someone climbs.

The duty

UK law. We name it. We do not invent a badge.

  • Work at Height Regulations 2005

    Inspect scaffolding and other access before use, and at the intervals set.

  • TG20

    The industry guide for tube and fitting scaffold. The register follows it.

  • Who uses it

    The person inspecting it. The work-at-height permit reads the same date.

  • Sits with

    Next to the working-at-height assessment and the permit.

  • What good looks like

    A scaffold that has not been handed over is not in use. Overdue is visible before the climb.
