Why this matters

Towers are quick to use, and that makes it easy to skip the checks that keep them upright.

What to cover

  1. Use a tower only on firm, level floors.
  2. Lock the wheels before you climb.
  3. Keep the height within the maker's limits.
  4. Never move a tower with people or materials on it.
  5. Check overhead before you roll it.
  6. Only use parts that came with the tower.

Ask the crew

  • What's the maximum height for this tower?
  • What do you check before you roll it?
  • Where do we store it?

One thing to do today

Check the wheels and the braces on every tower before use.
