Window Jack Scaffolds

A window jack scaffold is a platform resting on a bracket or jack which projects through a window opening. Not more than one employee shall occupy a window jack scaffold at any one time.

Window jack scaffolds must adhere to the following criteria:

• Scaffolds must be securely attached to the window opening.
• Scaffolds must be used only for the purpose of working at the window opening through which the jack is placed.
• Window jacks must not be used to support planks placed between one window jack and another, or for other elements of scaffolding.
