Glabe, P.E.](https://www.dhglabe.com/blog/author/david-h-glabe-p-e) / October 9, 2016 There are two criteria that predict the safety of a scaffold platform. One of the criteria involves the engineering properties of the scaffold unit. The other criterion addresses the correct installation of the platform. Correct installation includes proper support, correct positioning to limit...

Nice saying, but not very realistic, is it? If guardrails are good, then a safety net and personal fall arrest equipment are even better, some may say. Fortunately, reasonable people think reasonably and do the reasonable...
