Scaffolds and Ladders

The purpose of Illinois State University's (ISU) Scaffolding Procedure is to protect employees from the hazards associated with falls from scaffolds. This program applies to employees who, while performing their duties, are required to erect and/or use scaffolding. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) requires Illinois State University to develop and implement procedures for safe erecting and use of scaffolds. All Facilities Management departments are required to implement the practices and procedures outlined in this procedure.
