Scaffolding, also called scaffold or staging, is a temporary structure used to support a work crew and materials to aid in the construction, maintenance, and repair of buildings, bridges, and all other manmade structures. Scaffolds are widely used on-site to get access to heights and areas that would be otherwise hard to get to. Unsafe scaffolding has the potential to result in death or serious injury.

Scaffolding is also used in adapted forms for formwork and shoring, grandstand seating, concert stages, access/ viewing towers, exhibition stands; ski ramps, half pipes, and art projects. The purpose of a working scaffold is to provide a safe working platform and access suitable for work crews to carry out their work. The basic components of scaffolding are tubes, couplers, and boards. The key elements of the scaffolding are the standard, ledger, and transoms. Good foundations are essential. Often scaffold frameworks will require more than simple base plates to safely carry and spread the load. To provide stability for a scaffolding (at left) framework ties are generally fixed to the adjacent building/fabric/steelwork. Scaffolders plan, build, and erect scaffolding and working platforms for construction projects, as well as building stands and tiered seating for public events such as concerts or sporting events. They inspect the area that requires scaffolding and makes calculations to determine what kind of scaffolding is required, unload it, fit its tubing and braces together to form frameworks, and fix ladders, rails, and other attachments to the scaffolding. Scaffolders work all over the state, assisting and enabling the construction of everything from schools to skyscrapers.
