Scaffolds are temporary structures that provide safe means of access and work platforms to facilitate work at height and also to contain materials and tools in limited quantities. Scaffolding has a variety of applications. It is used in construction, renovation, routine maintenance and renovation activities. The use of scaffolding provides safer and more convenient working conditions than conventional working arrangements, such as using ladders, overhead stretch work, etc. Properly installed and maintained scaffolds provide workers with safe access to job sites, stable and level work platforms, and temporary storage of tools and materials to carry out immediate tasks.
