Scaffolding refers to a temporary structure used to support workers and materials during the construction, maintenance, or repair of a building or other structure. Scaffolding can be made of wood, metal, or other materials, and is typically erected using poles, planks, and other components that are bolted or otherwise secured together.
Scaffolding is used to provide a safe and stable work surface for workers to perform tasks such as painting, plastering, and masonry, and it can also be used to support heavy equipment and materials. Safety precautions must be taken while using scaffolding, including using proper fall protection, ensuring the scaffold is secure, and training workers on how to safely use and maintain the scaffold.
