Every day, around 2.3 million workers across the United States work on scaffolding. If you are one of them, keep yourself safe by making sure that the foundation on which the scaffolding sits is solid and level. It must also be rigid, with a sufficiently high weight capacity. It should be able to support four times the anticipated load. You should also keep your scaffolding at lest ten feet away from power lines.
