    Dismantling
    Dismantling a scaffold can place large loads on the scaffold unless the work is planned to keep the amount of material stored on the scaffold to a minimum. The work should be planned so that the scaffold remains stable, workers are prevented from falling from the scaffold and others are protected from the risk of falling materials.
