Scaffolding planks are widely used in the construction field as temporary platform support for workmen and materials. These scaffolding planks undergo dynamic impacts daily due to the weight of people and materials dropped onto them. These dynamic loads are not taken into account by professional and trade organizations, engineers, contractors and workers. This includes the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Handbook, which only lists the static load limits. Therefore, a standardized dynamic load procedure was developed. Based on this procedure, an experiment is described, which can be used as a laboratory exercise for a course in strength of materials.
