Temporary Works Inspection

Inspecting temporary works such as shoring and scaffolding is crucial to ensure safety and structural integrity on construction sites. Temporary works are temporary structures used to support loads during construction, including scaffolding and shoring systems. This checklist covers essential inspection points to verify stability, safety, and compliance before use. Ensuring temporary works are properly inspected helps avoid structural failures, accidents, and legal issues. This interactive checklist allows users to tick items online, leave comments, and export completed reports as PDF or Excel, complete with a unique QR code for authenticity.

Pre-Inspection Preparation

• 1. Verify that all necessary documentation for the temporary works is available, including design calculations and drawings.
• 2. Ensure that all personnel involved in the inspection are wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
• 3. Gather all necessary tools for inspection, such as measuring tapes, levels, and cameras.

Scaffolding Inspection

• 4. Check that scaffolding is erected on a stable, level surface to prevent tipping or collapse.
• 5. Ensure that all scaffolding components, such as tubes and couplers, are free from defects and have no signs of wear and tear.
• 6. Verify that guardrails and toe boards are installed correctly and securely to prevent falls.
• 7. Ensure that access points such as ladders are securely fixed and provide safe entry and exit.

Shoring Inspection

• 8. Check that shoring systems are installed according to design specifications and drawings.
• 9. Inspect all shoring components for damage, deformation, or signs of stress.
• 10. Confirm that load capacities of shoring components are not exceeded.
• 11. Ensure that all connections and joints are secure and properly tightened.

General Inspection

• 12. Verify that all temporary works have clear signage for load limits and access restrictions.
• 13. Ensure that emergency procedures and contact information are prominently displayed near the temporary works.
• 14. Check for environmental factors that may affect the stability of temporary works, such as heavy rain or strong winds.
• 15. Document any discrepancies or issues found during the inspection and report them to the site supervisor.
