A scaffold, also known as a scaffold or stage, is a temporary structure that allows people to stand on a stable platform to work at height or in hard-to-reach places. These temporary structures are often used to construct, maintain or repair buildings, bridges and other man-made structures to support work crews and materials.
The use of scaffolding dates back to the Stone Age – in fact, there is evidence that scaffolding was used over 17,000 years ago by those who produced the famous Paleolithic cave paintings at Lascaux.
Images of scaffolding have been found on ancient artefacts such as the Berlin Foundry Cup, a Greek wine cup made in the 5th century BC.
Peoples as diverse as the Nubians, Egyptians and Chinese all record the use of scaffolding to construct tall buildings, using rudimentary scaffolding made of wood and tied with ropes at the top.
In modern times, scaffolding has evolved far beyond these early versions and there are now several different designs made from several different types of material.
