Scaffold Inspection System Singapore is a compliant, mobile-first digital platform engineered for Singapore’s high-density construction landscape, where works-at-height remain a top MOM priority under the Workplace Safety and Health (Scaffolds) Regulations 2011. This system empowers scaffold supervisors, approved scaffold contractors (ASCs), project managers, and safety officers to conduct, document, and track inspections with full traceability—ensuring scaffolds are inspected upon completion, after any alteration, at intervals not exceeding 7 days, and after exposure to adverse weather, as mandated by Regulation 26. By digitizing the process, it eliminates paper registers, plastic tags, and manual entry errors, delivers instant labelling compliance (Regulation 27), and supports audit-ready records for MOM inspections, bizSAFE requirements, and client due diligence on projects across HDB, LTA, or private developments.
The platform centres on durable, weather-resistant QR-coded digital scafftags placed at every access point. Supervisors scan the tag via the offline-capable mobile app (iOS/Android) to instantly access the scaffold’s profile—design approval reference, erection date, load capacity, supervisor details, and full inspection history. A Singapore-specific checklist guides the process, covering key WSH requirements: stable foundation and sole plates, secure couplers and braces, proper ties/anchors (every 4m vertically/6m horizontally for metal scaffolds), full planking with no gaps >150mm, guardrails/toeboards at all open edges (>2m fall risk), safe access (no climbing braces), electrical clearances, and material condition free from corrosion or damage. Inspectors capture annotated photos/videos for evidence, note defects with severity levels, assign corrective actions with deadlines and assignees, apply digital signatures, and update the status to green (safe for use), yellow (caution/conditional), or red (unsafe—immediate stop). Real-time sync updates a central dashboard and site map, alerting supervisors via push/email/SMS for red tags or overdue 7-day checks.
Tailored for Singapore’s regulatory and operational realities, the system generates instant PDF inspection reports/register entries with timestamps, digital signatures, and MOM-aligned formatting for easy submission or display. It includes automated reminders for 7-day periodic inspections and 3-month PE reviews (for certain metal scaffolds), historical audit trails, multi-project oversight, and analytics on compliance rates, defect patterns, and scaffold utilization to optimize resources and reduce idle costs. Seamless integration with EHS platforms, PTW systems, or inventory tools further streamlines workflows for ASCs and main contractors.
