As it is erected, each part of a scaffolding shall be carefully ____.

• A. Inspected
• B. Tightened
• C. Painted
• D. Lubricated

Answer: (A)

During erection, each part of scaffolding must be carefully inspected to ensure it is properly assembled and safe to use. This means checking for damaged components, missing parts, loose or missing pins, properly locked couplers, correct bracing, and a stable base. Spotting issues now prevents falls or scaffold collapse once workers are on it and ensures the structure meets design requirements and remains stable. Painting or lubricating wouldn’t contribute to safety during erection, and tightening alone doesn’t catch all potential problems, whereas a thorough inspection verifies overall integrity and readiness.
