The word "scaffold" has its origins in Old French, where it was spelled "eschafaut". It originally referred to a platform used to view a tournament. Over time, the meaning evolved to include a platform used for executions and eventually to the temporary wooden framework used by workmen in erecting a building. Today, scaffolds are widely used on construction sites to provide access to heights and areas that would be otherwise hard to reach. They are made up of tubes, couplers, and boards, and their purpose is to provide a safe working platform and access suitable for work crews to carry out their work[4]. Scaffolds must be capable of supporting building workers, equipment, materials, tools, and any accumulated waste.
