Frequently asked questions

How often should scaffolds be inspected?

Every 7 days, after any event likely to have affected stability, and before first use. BuildShield auto-schedules follow-ups.

What scaffold types are covered?

Independent, putlog, birdcage, cantilever, and other — with appropriate checklist items for each.

What if the scaffold fails?

Record the defects and remedial actions. The scaffold is marked as failed and must not be used until re-inspected after repairs.

Does it alert me when inspections are due?

Yes. BuildShield sends alerts when scaffold inspections are due or overdue, visible in both the compliance dashboard and the schedule.
