How do you manage scaffolding inspections and permits?
To manage scaffolding inspections and permits, register each scaffold with location and responsible person, inspect it with a checklist after assembly and at defined intervals, record the inspection status and validity, block use when inspections are overdue, and keep photos and records for audits.
In Jestor, scaffolds, inspections, and permits are connected, so workers only use safe structures.
Why are scaffolding inspections critical?
Scaffolds change during the project. Inspections are recorded on paper tags.
Overdue inspections go unnoticed, and accidents happen on structures that were not checked.
What problems does inspection tracking solve?
- Overdue inspections
- Paper tags lost
- Scaffolds used without approval
- No history of changes
- Weak audit evidence
