Stipulations on Scaffolding #4
Factory-made scaffolds must be equipped with fastening elements that provide stiffness to the whole scaffolding structure. Scaffolding systems are only be used the way they were originally intended. The organization performs technical supervision to ensure that. During the lifting of heavy loads onto the scaffolding or moving them along the decking, it is necessary to avoid harsh hits against structural elements of scaffolding.
It is not allowed to disassemble the scaffolding partially and leaving them for conducting works without taking care of additional safety measures. When using factory-made scaffolding it is necessary to do everything according to the manufacturer’s manuals. In addition to that, elements of different types of scaffolding cannot be combined.
Loads should be distributed as evenly as possible. During the lifting of loads onto the scaffolding it is necessary to use an additional rigging rope to prevent harsh hits against structural elements of scaffolding. Scaffolding must not be used as the storage for materials.
When performing the insulation works the gap between the surface that is being isolated and the decking must not be more than the double thickness of the insulation plus 50 mm. Gaps more than 50 mm must be covered in every case when the works are not conducted.
