    Log every scaffold inspection the way the law actually requires.

    For small firms and site managers running scaffolds under the Work at Height Regs. Generates a compliant register, not a notebook scribble.

    Work at Height Regulations 2005 require scaffold inspections before first use, every 7 days, and after any event affecting stability. Records must be kept on site and retained for at least 3 months.

    Disclaimer: This tool generates a scaffold inspection record in line with Schedule 7 of the Work at Height Regulations 2005. The inspection itself must be carried out by a competent person. This tool records findings — it does not replace competence, training or judgement.
