Sole Boards: Always Required?

Not always! Their use depends on ground conditions, scaffold loads, and approved design.

✅ Distribute scaffold loads evenly.

✅ Reduce the risk of ground settlement

✅ Improve stability on weaker surfaces

✅ Provide additional support where required.

 ⚠️ Always assess the ground and follow the approved scaffold design and site requirements.

Safe scaffolding starts with a stable foundation!



Outdoor Lifting & Wind Safety – HSE Quiz

 Strong winds can create serious risks during lifting operations, affecting load stability, crane control, and overall worker safety. Always check the manufacturer’s recommended wind limits before starting a lift.

What should you do if wind speeds exceed the equipment’s safe operating limit?

⚠️ Stop the lifting operation immediately. Secure the load safely and restart only when wind conditions return within the specified safe limits.
