Scaffolding planks are common accessories of tubular scaffolding, ringlock scaffolding, cuplock scaffolding, kwikstage scaffolding, and multifunctional scaffolding.etc. Scaffolding steel planks have advantages of anti-slid, durable, fire resistance and easy installation and dismantlement. When using scaffolding steel planks, we need to follow several tips. Below we will have a discussion on it.

1. Each scaffolding system must be fully planked or decked between the front uprights.

2. Scaffolding platforms used solely as walkways, or during erection or dismantling, require only the planking that the employer establishes is necessary to provide safe working conditions.  

3. Scaffolding platforms and walkways must be at least 18 inches wide unless they are used in areas that the employer can demonstrate are so narrow that they must be less than 18 inches wide. In such cases, the platforms must be as wide as feasible, and fall protection must be provided.  

4. Nothing that could cause a slip, trip or fall (i.e. tools, scrap material, chemicals, snow, ice, etc.) is allowed to accumulate on the scaffolding planks.

5.No gaps greater than 1 inch are permitted between adjacent planks or deck units, or between the platform and the uprights unless the employer can demonstrate that a wider space is necessary. In such cases, the gap will be as small as possible and not exceed 9.5 inches.  

6. For the wooden planking, it must not be covered with opaque finishes, except that platform edges may be marked for identification. Platforms may be coated periodically with wood preservatives, fire retardants, and slip-resistant finishes, provided they do not obscure the top or bottom wood surfaces.
