Scaffold Log
A complete list of all active erected scaffolds across your company. Used for tracking scaffold details, handovers, inspections, hire periods, and modifications.
Purpose
The Scaffold Log is the live record of all scaffolds that have been handed over and are currently in use on a site.
Use it to:
Identify all active scaffolds
Track erection and dismantle dates
View handover and inspection history
Monitor hire dates and rates
Log notes or changes to the structure
How the Scaffold Log Works
The Scaffold Log is the live record of every scaffold that is currently erected and in use on a site. A scaffold will appear in this log automatically after it has been handed over and signed.
The system follows this workflow:
Scaffold is erected and handed over
Once a scaffold is created and a handover is completed, the scaffold automatically moves into the Scaffold Log.
This indicates the scaffold is active, safe for use, and available on site.
Ongoing activity is recorded
Any inspections, notes, or modifications performed on the scaffold are recorded inside the scaffold’s record.
Inspection Certificates and Handover Certificates can be viewed or downloaded directly from the log.
If a dismantle date is set
When a dismantle date approaches, the scaffold will automatically move into the Upcoming Dismantles Log 3 days before dismantle is due.
When dismantled
Once the scaffold is dismantled and completion is confirmed, it is removed from this log and permanently moved into the Dismantle Log.
The Scaffold Log keeps all active scaffolds visible until they are dismantled, ensuring complete traceability throughout their lifecycle on site.
