Scaffold inspection log

A free template you can use straight away – a runnable app with a traceable history, not a scaffold tag in a plastic sleeve.

Scaffolds are inspected before first use and on a recurring basis after that – and the inspection has to be shown on request.

This template turns the check into a small system: each inspection is recorded with inspector, date and result, a defect can tag the scaffold out until it's actioned, and the history stays put.

What the system looks like – pre-filled with examples

Scaffold	Location	Check type	Inspector	Date	Result	Status
Facade A – 4 High St	4 High St	Before use	Erik N.	2026-06-08	Pass	Passed
Facade A – 4 High St	4 High St	Weekly	Erik N.	2026-06-15	Defect	Actioned
Mobile tower T2	Warehouse	After weather or alteration	Sara P.	2026-06-16	Fail	Tagged out
Trestle H7	Oak House	Before use	Sara P.	2026-06-17	Pass	To inspect

Why a system beats the plastic sleeve

Traceable history per scaffold – who inspected it, when and with what result.
A defect tags the scaffold out until it's actioned – nothing slips through.
"Next check" makes Overdue surface what needs re-inspecting.
The whole crew sees the same status – not a tag left on site.

Vanliga frågor

What is this – and what isn't it?

It's an inspection log that shows scaffold checks were carried out, with a traceable history. It doesn't replace your own judgement of which rules and intervals apply to your work.

How often should a scaffold be inspected?

It depends on the work and conditions – typically before use and on a recurring basis after that, plus after weather or alteration. Set the check type and "next check" to match your procedures; the tool doesn't enforce a fixed interval for you.

Does it cost anything to start?

No. Open the template as an app and start logging inspections right away, no sign-in. You only sign in when you want to save and invite colleagues.
