Preventing Accidents in Scaffold Use
What are the prohibited situations when using a scaffold?
The prohibited situations when using a scaffold include working in high winds, using a ladder on the top of a scaffold, and working on a scaffold covered in snow or ice. Therefore the correct option is D.
Prohibited Situations
Using a Ladder on the Top of a Scaffold: Another prohibited situation is using a ladder on the top of a scaffold. Ladders are not designed to be placed on unstable surfaces like scaffolds, and this practice can lead to falls and other accidents.
Working on a Scaffold Covered with Snow or Ice: Working on a scaffold that is covered with snow or ice is also prohibited. These slippery conditions make the scaffold surface hazardous for workers, increasing the likelihood of slips, falls, and other accidents.
By avoiding these prohibited situations and following safety guidelines, workers can help prevent accidents and injuries while using scaffolding on construction sites.
