Upon completion of the installation of a suspended scaffold, the scaffold, all components of and attachments to the scaffold, and all supports and anchorages of the scaffold shall be inspected prior to use to verify that they are in a safe condition and, where design is required, installed in accordance with the design drawings. The individual performing the inspection shall have completed the training required by Section 3314.4.5.3 and shall be: 1.

A suspended scaffold foreman; or 2. Where the scaffold was not designed by a licensed rigger or sign hanger, or installed by or under the direct and continuing supervision of a licensed rigger or sign hanger: 2.1. The scaffold designer; 2.2. An employee of the scaffold designer under his or her direct supervision; 2.3. A registered design professional retained by the scaffold designer; or 2.4. An employee of such retained registered design professional under the direct supervision of such retained registered design professional. Exceptions: An installation inspection is not required for: 1. A non-adjustable suspended scaffold that, pursuant to Section 3314.3.2, is not required to be designed; or 2. The lateral relocation of a wheel or track mounted scaffold and tiebacks, provided the design developed by the registered design professional allows for such relocation, and also provided such lateral relocation occurs without the addition or removal of any part, component, attachment, counterweight, anchorage, or connection to the base building or structure, other than tie-backs. Following such lateral relocation, the scaffold, and any re-installed tie-back, shall be inspected and documented under the requirements of Section 3314.4.3.4.
