The topic of the final paper is safety at work when using scaffolding in construction. The paper will explain the definitions and types of scaffolding, their proper design, and the dangers and protection measures during the installation and use of scaffolding. Scaffolding installation is first and foremost a demanding job, which requires assembly and disassembly time, where care must be taken to protect workers and equipment. Installing scaffolding is also a risky job, as there is a possibility of injury, and attention must be paid to safety at work. When dismantling, care must be taken that it is possible, simple and without affecting the objects of work created by their use, as well as without affecting the environment. During disassembly, deformations of the manufactured structure and damage to the manufactured structure must not occur. They are made of various types of materials, in various ways and performance properties. In doing so, both materials and workmanship must meet applicable standards and regulations. The aim of the final work is to determine the hazards that occur during the use and installation of scaffolding, to determine whether they are dangerous and harmful to the safety and health of workers at work and to specify measures to protect workers during installation and use of scaffolding.
