Scaffold Definition
A scaffold is defined as an elevated, temporary work platform. The three basic types of scaffolds are described below:
- Supported scaffolds: Consist of one or more platforms supported by rigid, load-bearing members, such as poles, legs, frames, outriggers, etc.
- Suspended scaffolds: Suspended scaffolds are platforms suspended by ropes, or other non-rigid means, from an overhead structure.
- Other scaffolds: Principally man lifts, personnel hoists, etc., which are sometimes thought of as vehicles or machinery, but can be regarded as another type of supported scaffold.
