Scaffolds and their components shall be capable of supporting without failure at least four times the maximum intended load.

Tools, materials, and debris shall not be allowed to accumulate in quantities to cause a hazard.

1910.28(e)(5)

Where there is danger of material falling from the scaffold, a wire mesh or other enclosure shall be provided between the guardrail and the toeboard.
Just after reading 1910.28(a)(20), my team already fails OSHA standards.

Though this only occurs during those quick-take-the-robot-apart-and-rebuild-the-entire-inside-because-we-have-a-match-in-five-minutes build periods.
