17. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM SCAFFOLDING.
18. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
19. STAY ALERT: watch what you’re doing and use common sense when using the scaffold. Do not use while you

on it or use it for any purpose. This item can be dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
22. CHECK FOR MISALLIGNMENT OR BINDING OF PARTS, cracks and/or breakage of parts (or any other
conditions that may jeopardize the safety of certain operations). Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.
