The scaffold height must not exceed three times its smallest base dimension (3 to 1 rule).
Guardrails must be installed on all open sides of a working platform where a person could fall from a height of 6 feet

Guardrails must be installed so that gate swings inward over platform.
There must be a minimum of two side braces installed in each scaffold level and evenly spaced throughout the scaffold.
