FAQ

FAQ — Scaffolding Tag

What is a Scaffolding Tag?

A Scaffolding Tag is a safety identification system used to indicate the status of a scaffold — whether it is safe, unsafe, or under construction — helping ensure compliance with site safety regulations.

Why are Scaffolding Tags important?

They provide a clear visual indicator of scaffold inspection status, preventing unauthorised use and reducing the risk of accidents on construction sites.

What information is displayed on a Scaffolding Tag?

Typical tags display inspection details, date, inspector’s name, load capacity, and current safety condition of the scaffold (e.g. “SAFE FOR USE” or “DO NOT USE”).

What materials are Scaffolding Tags made from?

They are usually made from durable plastic or PVC, resistant to weather, dirt, and damage for outdoor site conditions.

How is a Scaffolding Tag used?

The tag is attached to a scaffold using a holder or cable tie at the access point, allowing clear visibility of safety status and inspection history.

Who is responsible for updating Scaffolding Tags?

Authorised safety inspectors or site supervisors update and sign the tag after each inspection or modification of the scaffold structure.

Are Scaffolding Tags reusable?

The holder is reusable, while the insert cards can be replaced after each inspection cycle or when project details change.
