1. A method of assembling a work platform system, the method comprising:
assembling a first frame comprising a plurality of interconnection structures and a plurality of joists;
providing a plurality of interconnection structure brackets and coupling at least one interconnection structure bracket to at least two of the plurality of interconnection structures of the first frame, the at least one interconnection structure bracket coupled between a first end and a second end of the corresponding interconnection structure;
providing a plurality of vertical supports and connecting a first end of the vertical support to a corresponding interconnection structure of the plurality of interconnection structures of the first frame;
assembling a second frame comprising a plurality of interconnection structures and at least one of (i) a plurality of joists and (ii) a plurality of chords;
providing a plurality of interconnection structure brackets and coupling at least one interconnection structure bracket to at least two of the plurality of interconnection structures of the second frame, the at least one interconnection structure bracket coupled between a first end and a second end of the corresponding interconnection structure; and
securing a second end of the vertical supports of the plurality of vertical supports to a corresponding interconnection structure of the plurality of interconnection structures of the second frame.
