To provide you with a specific answer, it would be helpful to see the answer options you have. However, I can provide some common hazards associated with scaffolding:
-
Falls from height: This is one of the most significant dangers, as workers may fall if the scaffolding is not properly secured or if they don’t use safety measures like guardrails.
-
Scaffold failure: Inadequately built or overloaded scaffolding can collapse under the weight or due to poor construction practices.
-
Falling objects: Tools or materials can fall from the scaffolding, posing risks to workers below.
-
Electrocution: Scaffolding set up near power lines or electrical sources can create electrocution hazards.
-
Slip and trip hazards: Wet surfaces, loose materials, or debris on scaffolding can lead to slips, trips, and falls.
-
Inadequate training: Workers who are not trained properly in scaffolding safety practices may be more likely to encounter hazards.
If you can provide your answer options, I could help you identify which one is a hazard related to scaffolding.
