Thirty days goes past without anyone noticing. Log the scaffolds once and the tool counts for you.
The thirty-day cycle is the one everybody knows. A scaffold must also be inspected:
• Before it is first used after erection, and handed over
• After any alteration - including a tie removed or a board lifted to get something through
• After anything that could affect its stability - struck by plant, a load dropped on it, high wind, storm, or after it has been left standing unused
In Australia, erecting, altering or dismantling scaffold from which a person or object could fall more than 4 metres is high risk work needing the appropriate scaffolding licence. That is not a site rule you can waive.
And an unattended or incomplete scaffold must be tagged out so nobody climbs onto something that is not finished.
Scaffolding SWMS, the scaffold erect / alter / dismantle permit, and the inspection and hold-point record are all in the libraries. Browse them →

It is a reminder, not a statutory scaffold register, and it does not replace the inspection itself or the handover certificate. Inspections must be done by a competent person.
