Abstract
A scaffold plank and toeboard system provides a fully integrated system where toeboards are easily securable to provide perimeter protection about different working platform configurations. The scaffold advantageously includes a series of securing ports that allow male connectors of the system toeboards, or male connectors of generic toeboard securing brackets to be appropriately placed for maintaining wooden, metal or other toeboard material that is basically fabricated onsite according to the material available. The scaffold securing plank also cooperates with other equipment, guard rails, plank support intermediary ledgers etc. to use the securing ports to simplify installation and securement thereof.
