7 Safety Training > Suspended Scaffolds

Suspended Scaffolds (also called hanging scaffolds) are work platforms that hang from overhead support structures on roofs or building setbacks. Suspended scaffolds must comply with the New York City Construction Codes.

All workers on suspended scaffolds must complete scaffold-specific training. In addition, a designated foreman, licensed sign hanger, or licensed rigger must be on site at all times to supervise scaffold operations.
