A scaffolding tag is a sign that is attached to a scaffold to show its safety and inspection status. Scaffolding tags are used to communicate important information among workers, supervisors, and inspectors, and to help prevent accidents and injuries by alerting workers of the potential hazards and risks of using a defective or unfinished scaffold. There are three types of scaffolding tags: green, yellow, and red. Green tags mean that the scaffold is safe and ready to use. Yellow tags mean that the scaffold has some restrictions or warnings, and workers should seek approval from a supervisor before using it. Red tags mean that the scaffold is unsafe or incomplete, and workers should not use it under any circumstances. To ensure scaffolding safety, the scaffold must be built, inspected, and tagged by competent and qualified persons who have been trained in safe work practices when working on scaffolds.
