The scaffolding related risks usually disregarded

by the respondents were the found out to be mainly

regarding the competencies required to check, use,
and install scaffolds.
Falling from heights, scaffolding collapse,
falling objects, and manual tasks
are some of the hazards commonly set aside by
the respondents. These could be attributed to
the lack of published literature that
safety officers could use to strictly
reinforce the regulations by OSHA.

A Code of Practice is needed,

but more than that there should be a written standard
either in the NSCP or the NBCP so as to provide the
much needed guidance and uniformity in the use of scaffolds.
Through this study, the researchers would like extend
their results in a way that would spark the desire
for addition of temporary works in our standards in the
Philippines. Future studies could include the qualitative
approach in which the researchers could visit the
construction sites, scaffolding designers, and
manufacturers, and then they can derive the
specific design guidance and clarification
of design requirements where this is unclear.
