Choosing the right timber species and grade for the scaffold board application could save money, enable reusing, expedite the operations, minimise accident and most importantly
avoiding fatality. However, not everyone has the knowledge and experience in handling of timber-based materials. Basic understanding and training concerning the science of timber
are critically required even by professional engineers. Thus, an on-site test is recommended on random samples of timber scaffold board for the verification of mechanical properties
prior to installation. This article provides a detailed procedure for assessing the performance of timber scaffold board on-site where a universal testing machine is not available.
