A brake/ballast assembly for a movable structure. The brake/ballast assembly includes a movable brake/ballast plate movable between a movable brake/ballast plate first position in which the movable brake/ballast plate is positioned proximate the fixed member and a movable brake/ballast plate second position in which the movable brake/ballast plate is spaced from the fixed member. An engagement member is connected to the movable brake/ballast plate. The engagement member is movable between an engagement member first position and an engagement member second position. When the engagement member is in the engagement member first position, the movable brake/ballast plate is provided in the movable brake/ballast plate first position allowing the movable structure to be moved along a surface, when the engagement member is in the engagement member second position, the movable brake/ballast plate is provided in the movable brake/ballast plate second position preventing the movable structure from moving relative to the surface.

A ladder hoop having a hoop shaped member with an inner facing surface, an outer facing surface, a top and a bottom. The hoop has two terminating ends forming an opening there between, and each terminating end is adapted to attach to a scaffold ladder. The hoop includes tabs supporting a member movable on the tabs between an open position and a closed position.

An improved latchable scaffold board having a board like member with fixed clips or brackets fixedly attached at each end of the board. The brackets are shaped to engage and capture a horizontal scaffold member. The board also has a movable latch at least one end that moves to a latched position, and in the latched position, the movable latch has a portion that is positioned below the horizontal scaffold member, thereby trapping the scaffold board to the horizontal scaffold member.

A safety system (1) for scaffolding on a construction site having a plurality of elongate scaffolding elements (5) connected together by a plurality of couplers (7) to form a scaffolding structure (2). One or more elements connected to one or more base plates supporting the structure on a surface. At least two safety monitors (10) spaced apart about said structure. Each said monitor having a power source, a sensor and a transmitter. The sensor sensing movement in said structure and transmitting a signal to a receiver to indicate movement in the structure.
