The general Lifting Method Statement provides the guidelines about the lifting operation, the associated hazards, and the method to lift the object while maintaining the safety and health throughout the work activity.

Most of the work activities involving lifting and lifting equipment fail  due to incompetent operatives, lack of risk assessment, poor planning, or wrong use of the lifting equipment and the accessories. Moreover, the load being lifted must be installed with the reasonable liftig points otherwise attachments used at the wrong point also lead to incidents e.g., collapse of equipment and the load.

Working at Height is an important but dangerous activity. A thorough and comprehensive risk assessment is necessary to identify the risks and determine what kind of work platform is suitable for the activity. Scaffolding is one of the available means of working at height.

Due to the work platform's nature and structure, the scaffolding's inspection regime must be performed by a competent yet experienced professional. The best method is to utilize a comprehensive inspection checklist covering all aspects of the working platform and inspecting every element. The observations and notes are recorded, and if the work platform is in good condition, it can be used; otherwise, label it dangerous and remove it from the site.

The Inspection Checklist can be downloaded from the link available above and utilized to inspect the scaffolding available on your worksite.
