Due to the dangers involved when working at heights, erecting scaffolding on your own is not advisable. The only exception would be if you have previous training and experience and are competent at performing the process. Also, it typically takes a crew consisting of several scaffolding professionals to handle the project. Compliance is another factor to consider when erecting scaffolding. Unless you assemble these structures every day, you might not be familiar with all the applicable OSHA regulations. A violation could result in substantial fines and penalties and put your crew's safety at risk.
