Overview
What this RAVS document does
Scaffold collapses and falls from scaffolds cause severe injuries, so hiring clients require a scaffolds answer that shows scaffolds are built by competent workers, inspected, and tagged before use.
This document states your company's scaffolds program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: competency for erecting and dismantling scaffolds, the inspection and tagging system, guardrails and fall protection, safe access, and load limits. Each point ties back to Part 13 of the BC OHS Regulation. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.

- Competency for erecting, altering, and dismantling scaffolds
- Scaffold inspection and the tagging system before use
- Guardrails, fall protection, and safe access
- Load limits for the scaffold and its platforms
- Roles and responsibilities for builders and users
