How much weight must a scaffold be capable of supporting?
Furthermore, how many times the intended load should a scaffold be able to support?
Proper training includes being informed of the maximum intended load of the scaffold you are working on as well as its load-carrying capacities. In most instances, scaffolds should be capable of supporting at least four times its maximum intended load. Use boxes or ladders to increase your work height.
