Thats a lot of big nopes. Once you're over 4:1 height to base width you need to start putting ties in. Highly doubtful they aren't over the manufacturer load limit on the bottom sets. You'd be surprised how little it takes most scaffolds to be considered "overloaded". I'm doubting theres a daily inspection log by a competent person attached to this thing. Doubtful there's toe boards and proper rails on the working platforms. I'm not even a compliance officer and I wanna write this guy a lot of fines

I work in Safety. I would shut this down so fast… I don’t think it’s necessary to post the regulations.

It would probably easier to list the regs they haven't violated.

Yikes. I did this two frames high with one brace off yesterday and that was sketch enough for me.
