What Is a Statutory Scaffold Inspection?

A statutory scaffold inspection is a detailed examination of a scaffold carried out by a competent person to confirm that it is safe to use.

Under the Work at Height Regulations 2005, scaffolds should be inspected:

• Before first use.

• At intervals not exceeding seven days while they remain in use.

• After any event likely to have affected their strength or stability, including adverse weather.

• Following substantial alteration, modification or repair.

Regular inspections help identify defects before they become safety risks and demonstrate that appropriate controls are in place to protect everyone working on or around the scaffold.
