The Frequently Asked Questions
Q1) Must I use a tag system on a Scaffold?
Tag systems are not a legal requirement, but inspections are, especially if the scaffolding is over 2 meters high. A competent person must issue a report after completion and weekly thereafter.
A risk assessment may indicate the need for more frequent inspections of scaffolding. Inspections may also be required after inclement weather and any modifications made. A visible tag system can enhance inspection reports and ensure the scaffolding is safe for use on the construction project.
