We all know that fall hazards are the leading cause of construction worker deaths, accounting for about 33.5% of all fatalities in construction each year. Of the 338 construction worker fatalities attributed to falls in 2018, close to 15% were from scaffolds. OSHA estimates that about 65% of all construction workers perform some work on scaffolds every year. That’s a lot of folks working on scaffolds potentially being exposed to a number of hazards such as falls, electrocutions, and falling objects.

Construction equipment projects involve installation of equipment to support construction activities or to secure a construction site for protection of workers and the general public. Construction projects may include erection of a new building or the alteration, renovation, remodel, or renewal of an outdated or damaged existing structure and associated materials, including any partial or full demolition. These projects may require construction equipment such as scaffolding during the project’s execution.

Scaffold, in building construction, temporary platform used to elevate and support workers and materials during the construction, repair, or cleaning of a structure or machine; it consists of one or more planks of convenient size and length, with various methods of support, depending on the form and use.In timber scaffolding, support for the planks is provided by a timber frame fabricated and erected at the site. The frame may consist of vertical posts, horizontal longitudinal members, called ledgers, transverse members supported by the ledgers, and longitudinal and transverse cross-bracing. The planks rest on the transverse members.

Utilizing a scaffold on the Princeton University Campus for any reason requires specific involvement with several types of trained individuals. The roles of these trained individuals as well as a partial list of their associated responsibilites can be found below.

Scaffolds provide a safe and efficient way to work in construction. However, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, unsafe scaffolding caused 3,400 injuries and 56 work-related deaths in the U.S. in 2020.

A Scaffold Builder constructs and erects the scaffolding that supports building projects, like construction or shipbuilding. This is not a job for someone afraid of heights.
