Scaffold Inspection and Tagging A competent person must check all scaffolds and label them with correct identifying tags. A scaffold that has not been labeled should not be utilized. Scaffold tags should be attached on the access ladder or near the stairwell at eye level to make them simple to find. The following information should be included on each tag: name of company who constructed the scaffold; a unique number or letter that identifies the site where it is being used; the date it was checked. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has developed standards for scaffolds. These standards include requirements for materials, design, installation, inspection, and tagging. You can find these standards online at www.ansi.org/standard/scaffold.html. If you are involved in a work-related accident because of a defective scaffold, you may be able to collect damages from the manufacturer. Your injury lawyer can help you determine if this is the case for you.
