Roof Bracket Scaffolds

A roof bracket scaffold is a rooftop supported scaffold consisting of a platform supported by triangular shaped supports.

  • Ensure brackets conform to the pitch of the roof and produce a level support for the platform.
  • Check that brackets are secured in place by nails.
  • When nails are not practical, make sure brackets are anchored by 3/4-inch first grade manila rope or its equivalent.
