What Happens to a Scaffold Plank After It's Retired?
Every scaffold plank has a service life.
But what happens when a plank no longer meets inspection standards?
Retiring a plank at the appropriate time is a critical part of jobsite safety. Continuing to use damaged or compromised planks can increase risk and liability.
Knowing when to remove a plank from service is just as important as choosing the right plank in the first place.
A strong safety culture starts with understanding the full lifecycle of your equipment.
