In a scaffolding assembled of vertical posts, trough-shaped crossbars secured to the posts and gangplanks hooked on the edges of crossbars by claws, a safety device for securing the gangplanks against accidental lifting includes oblong holes formed in the bottom of the trough-shaped crossbars, a rail arranged above each crossbar and overlapping the claws, each rail being provided with a downwardly directed projection formed at its end with a bent portion insertable into the holes and engageable with the crossbar, and a locking plate hinged to the end of the rail which is situated away from the direction of bending of the hook-shaped portions.
