    Speaker Notes:

    A ladder jack scaffold is a simple device consisting of a platform resting on brackets attached to a ladder. Ladder jacks are primarily used in light applications because of their portability and cost effectiveness.

    Platforms should not be placed higher than 20 feet from the supported base.

    Scaffold platforms must not be bridged together.
