A high-visibility tag system attached to the access points of scaffolding to display its current inspection status. The holder usually displays a red warning to not use the structure by default. A green or yellow insert is added only after a competent person inspects and signs off on the erection. It tracks the date of the last inspection, load ratings, and the inspector's signature.
Heard on the job
Don't climb that tower until the super updates the scaff tag for the week.
Insider tip
Never alter or remove a scaff tag unless you are the designated competent person for that site.
