What does each scaffold status mean

What does each scaffold status mean. A scaffold moves through nine statuses:

The steps, written out

  1. Requested: asked for (for example by a service request); nothing on site. No tag.
  2. Approved: the request is approved but not scheduled. No tag.
  3. Scheduled: erection is planned. No tag.
  4. Erecting: being built; the tag is red, so do not use.
  5. Standing – safe (green tag): inspected, handed over and ready to use.
  6. Standing – do not use (red tag): unsafe until cleared.
  7. Modification in progress: being altered; yellow tag until a new handover is signed.
  8. Awaiting dismantle: access closed, tag red.
  9. Dismantled: removed; no tag, no inspections.

Tip

Requested, Approved, Scheduled and Dismantled count as "not standing" and are left out of inspection due dates.
