Check all piping areas where someone might have hung an item that you will need to retrieve before you disassemble the scaffold system structure. It is a good idea to have an inventory list of all tools and other work items that were at the site. Check to see that all are accounted for before disassembling the structure so there are no surprises if a wayward tool falls from a spot that is being taken apart.The first place to begin your scaffold removal is to locate the top frame section and remove the piping before removing the platform planking.

You will need to stand on the planking while disassembling the frame. Pay special attention to safety concerns and work with another to help act as a “spotter” or supporter. If possible, place a ladder against the building the scaffolding manufacturer structure stands next to in order to reach the frame areas that are not accessible from ground levels.
