• Interpret scaffold design drawings and specifications, ensuring all structures are fit for purpose, correctly braced, and fully boarded with appropriate edge protection.
• Maintain accurate records of work completed and materials used, and participate in site safety briefings and toolbox talks to promote a zero-accident culture.
