Scaffolding Tags (Green, Yellow, Red)

Green Tag

• Inspect the scaffold before each work shift and after any occurrence that could affect its structural integrity, such as strong winds, heavy loads, or damage.
• Check for any defects or hazards on the scaffold, such as missing or damaged parts, loose or unstable components, inadequate bracing or anchoring, improper access or guardrails, or excessive loading.

Red Tag

• Inspect the scaffold before each work shift and after any occurrence that could affect its structural integrity, such as strong winds, heavy loads, or damage.
• Check for any defects or hazards on the scaffold, such as missing or damaged parts, loose or unstable components, inadequate bracing or anchoring, improper access or guardrails, or excessive loading.
• If the scaffold is found to be unsafe or non-compliant, do not use it and report it to the supervisor. Apply a red tag to the scaffold to indicate that it is unfit for use and needs to be repaired or dismantled.
• If the scaffold is found to be safe and compliant, fill out a green tag with the required information and attach it to the scaffold at the access point. The tag should be visible and legible to anyone who wants to use the scaffold.

Yellow Tag

• Inspect the scaffold before each work shift and after any occurrence that could affect its structural integrity, such as strong winds, heavy loads, or damage.
• Check for any issues or hazards on the scaffold, such as missing or damaged parts, loose or unstable components, inadequate bracing or anchoring, improper access or guardrails, or excessive loading.
• If the scaffold is found to have some issues or hazards that could compromise its safety or performance, but not to the extent that it is unfit for use, apply a yellow tag to the scaffold to indicate that it has some restrictions or warnings and workers should seek approval from a supervisor before using it.
