Nope. The professional has to approve the scaffolding in the end; anyone can build it. Please don’t tell me that the "scaffolders" you find on large construction sites and increasingly also at single-family house constructions, whose language you don’t understand, are all trained scaffolders. And even among the German crews, there are always helpers who are just semi-skilled.
It’s like with electricity. A layperson can also install and connect it entirely on their own, as long as in the end the master electrician does the measurements and signs the protocol.
You just have to find someone who signs it. That shouldn’t be a problem within your circle of acquaintances.
And even then, the professional does not always take responsibility if someone falls. It’s like with car inspections. The inspector signs off on the condition he checked on day x. What happens three days later because someone tampered with it is no longer the inspector’s problem.
In our case, the bricklayers already removed several scaffold planks or just placed them loosely somewhere after two days because it was easier for them to reach. Then no scaffolding master is liable if the bricklayer falls two floors down.
