degrees of level and is free of pits, holes, or
obstructions.
❏ The height to base width ratio during
movement is two to one or less.
❏ Outrigger frames, when used, are installed on
both sides.
❏ Worker is not on any part of the scaffold
which extends outward beyond the wheels,
casters, or other supports.
❏ Manual force used to move the scaffold should be
applied as close to the base as practicable, and not
more than 5 feet above the supporting surface.
