| Supported scaffolds consist of one
or more platforms supported by outrigger beams, brackets, poles, legs, uprights,
posts, frames, or similar rigid support. Because frame scaffolds are the most
common type of supported scaffold, this eTool uses the Frame module to describe
requirements that are common to all supported scaffolds. Requirements specific
to the other types are described only in their respective modules. |
