The scaffolding inspector shall have received training from an approved third-party company. In addition to this, the scaffolding inspection must be repeated at least every seven days. And also, after any alternation of scaffolding. Every scaffold will be provided with a colour coded tag, called SCAFFTAG. The purpose of this tag is to show whether scaffolding is safe to use or not.

“Supported and suspended scaffolds shall be inspected by a third-party inspection body approved by Dubai Municipality. Then, a proper certificate shall be issued by this company. The inspection will be repeated in case of any change on the location of erection or suspension.”
