How should scaffolds be treated during installation and operation?

Scaffolds should be properly constructed and maintained to ensure the safety of workers and the integrity of the structure being worked on. Proper construction involves adhering to established safety standards and guidelines, including using materials that can support the load requirements and ensuring that the scaffold is set up on stable ground. Maintenance is equally important, as it involves regular inspections and repairs to identify and rectify any issues that might arise during use, such as wear and tear, corrosion, or structural instability. By prioritizing proper construction and maintenance, risks associated with scaffold-related accidents can be minimized, promoting a safer working environment.
