TEXT VERSION OF SLIDE:

Title: 1926.451(c) Supported scaffolds (cont'd)

Type: Text Slide with Image

Content:

• Must bear on adequate foundations
• Unstable objects will not be used as working platforms
• Plumbed and braced

[Includes photo of scaffolding with improperly supported base plate]

Speaker Notes:

To avoid falls and other hazardous conditions, you should only work from scaffolds that are properly constructed and supported. If the scaffold does not have a stable foundation, then the scaffold may move or shift causing either the scaffold or you to fall.

This scaffold has a base plate but it is not resting on a firm foundation. The base plate is resting on blocks, uneven timbers and planking over uneven ground.
