Would be the * scaffold level and supported on proper adjustable stands.
* If it is just a rolling scaffold, will be the castors locked?
Almost any * scaffolding will be able to support as much as four times its intended load.
Your * platform should be complete cab to tailgate and laterally. Any planking or decking should never have gaps above 25mm (1%u201D).
* Toe boards and guardrails need to be positioned on all open sides.
