Synopsis

Like most terms scaffolds over the years has assumed expanded descriptions to suit the outlook of each defining profession. Even in Medicine, the term scaffold is descriptive of a mere structural base on which a graft may depend on to heal. However, this refers to the 'every-day' structures (more associated with civil engineering work sites) that are often made use of in domestic, agricultural and even mercantile premises. These moveable structures are mainly used to elevate man's reach to higher points of work. There variable types; deployment heights; place and circumstances of use, predisposes the users to various types of incidents. Surprisingly, handy texts on their basic and essential safe erection and use specifications are lacking. This compact volume is first intended to contribute to bridging the gap, while serving as a quick reference text. Hopefully also, it's use would improve understanding to enhance the reduction of the structures' repeating historic incident rates and severity. Additionally, for some industrial settings, it would aid appreciation of the excesses that can lead to ergonomic problems and scaffold collapses.
