What this sheet is for
Keep a dated inspection history for one scaffold, with findings and the action taken recorded beside each inspection.
Who it is for
Builders, roofers, scaffolders, site managers and anyone responsible for a scaffold on their premises.
How to use it
- Write the required inspection interval in the header, from your own rules.
- Record the erector's stated load class — do not assume one.
- Inspect after alteration or bad weather as well as on the interval.
- Say what was found, not just 'safe'.
- Keep the sheet where the scaffold is, and file it when the job ends.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: A dated record of scaffold inspections — who inspected, what they found, and what was done about it.
No intervals or limits are printed. No inspection interval, load class or tie spacing is printed here. Those come from the design, the erecting contractor and local rules, and a generic figure would be wrong and dangerous. Record what applies to this scaffold in the header. Who may authorise and carry out this work, what training and certification they need, what must be recorded and how long it must be kept differ by country and by workplace. This sheet names no scheme, sets no criteria and satisfies no regulation on its own — check what applies where you are.
Write-on lines: Site · Scaffold reference or location · Erected by · Design or drawing reference · Load class as stated by the erector · Inspection interval required
Table, 9 rows: Date · Time · Inspected by (print) · Result · What was found · Action taken and by whom · Signature

Questions
How often must a scaffold be inspected?
That is set by local rules and by the circumstances — after erection, after alteration, after events likely to have affected it, and at intervals. The specifics differ by country, so the sheet has a blank line for yours rather than a printed figure.
