SCAFFOLDING RESPONSIBILITY PROCEDURE

1 SCAFFOLDING RESPONSIBILITY PROCEDURE

1.1 SECTION CONTENTS
This section provides general information and pertinent safety guidelines for single pole and independent pole wood scaffolds and tubular steel scaffolds which are needed for occasional Company work such as painting, insulating, maintenance work, pipefitting, etc. Refer to applicable code regulations for guidance in the use of other types of scaffolds.

1.2 GENERAL AND DESIGN REQUIREMENTS FOR SCAFFOLDING

1.2.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL SCAFFOLDING 1.2.1.1 Scaffolds are temporary, elevated platform structures which should be provided for all work that cannot be done safely from permanent or solid construction (minimum 20 inches wide), or cannot be done safely from ladders. 1.2.1.2 The erection and dismantling of scaffolds should be performed under the supervision and direction of a qualified person experienced with or trained in scaffold erection, dismantling, and use as well as knowledgeable about the hazards involved. 1.2.1.3 Personnel should not work on scaffolds during storms or high winds nor on scaffolds covered with ice or snow. 1.2.1.4 Some jurisdictions may require a permit for scaffold use.

1.2.2 GENERAL DESIGN REQUIREMENTS 1.2.2.1 Platform Footings

The footing or anchorage for scaffolds should be sound, rigid, and capable of carrying the maximum anticipated load without settling or displacement. Unstable objects such as boxes, loose bricks, concrete blocks, or scrap lumber should not be used to support or level scaffold or planks. The scaffold should be erected as near as possible to the building or structure. All poles should be set and maintained plumb for the full height of scaffold. Open sides and ends of working level 10 feet 0 inches or more above grade should be guarded by top rails, mid rails, and toe boards with a top of railing at 42 inches above the platform level. (Some jurisdictions may require guarding of open sides and ends of working levels 7 feet 6 inches or more above grade see Cal. Code of Regulations).

SCAFFOLDING RESPONSIBILITY PROCEDURE Where personnel are required to work or pass under a scaffold platform, a screen (18 gage, -inch mesh or equivalent) should be installed between top rail and toe board of platform guardrail. Scaffolds and their components should be capable of supporting without failure at least four times the maximum intended load. A safe means of access such as a walkway, stair or fixed ladder should be provided to all scaffold platforms. A portable ladder may be used if securely attached to the scaffold. All ladders should extend 3 feet minimum above the platform deck or 12 inches above top rail for handhold during mounting and dismounting. Wooden planking should be scaffold grade as recognized by lumber industry standards. Where planking is lapped, each plank should lap its end supports by a minimum of 12 inches or secured from movement. Overlapping of planks at the unsupported end or overhang of planks is not permitted. Where the ends of planks about each other to form a flush floor, the abutted ends should be secured to separate bearers. Where planks rest on bearers, ends should extend minimum 6 inches, but not more than maximum 18 inches over end supports. Platform slopes should not exceed 2 inches in 10 feet.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR WOOD POLE SCAFFOLDING

Scaffold lumber should be select grade as recognized by the lumber industry standards. Lumber should be inspected for defective or damaged pieces before and regularly during use, and substandard pieces should be replaced (see Figure 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3). When poles are spliced, their ends should be squared and fit squarely together. Splice plates should be at least 4 feet 0 inches in length and be the same width and have at least the cross sectional area of the poles being spliced. Splice plates should be provided on two adjacent sides and should overlap the abutted ends equally. Splice plates of other equivalent strength material may be used. Double-headed nails should not be used where projections create a hazard such as on guardrails. Also lubricated, wax-coated nails are not permitted.

1.4 TUBULAR STEEL SCAFFOLDING AND STAGING

1.4.1 Material
Staging pieces such as poles, ledgers, bearers, ribbons, and braces should be 2 inches nominal OD tube steel or other material of equivalent strength. Tube lox staging material may be used. All staging pieces should extend inch minimum through couplings to prevent crimping of ends. Bearers should be at least 4 inches, but not more than 12 inches longer than the pole spacing. Tubular steel scaffolds exceeding the maximum heights listed in specification (Figure 3) should be designed by a Civil Engineer registered within the appropriate jurisdiction. Scaffolds should not be built beyond reach of effective firefighting equipment. Intermediate rest platforms should be provided for climbing to levels where the change in elevation is greater than 30 feet. Rest and intermediate platforms should be fully planked, equipped with guardrail and toe board, and should not be used for storage of material or as an additional working platform. Staging should be tied securely to structures or equipment to prevent tipping over. Ties should be doubled 12 gage iron wire or equivalent and not be spaced more than 30 feet horizontally or 26 feet vertically. The ties should be as close as possible to the top working platform. TCC clamps with staging pieces may be used instead of tie-wires to stabilize staging (Figure 13) The full height of all staging should be braced. Both the front and back of longitudinal staging faces should be braced. Diagonal bracing should be installed at approximately a 45 angle from near the base of the first post upward to the extreme top of the scaffold. Repeat at the base of every fifth longitudinal post. Similarly diagonal bracing should be installed from the base of the last extending back and upward toward the first post (see Figures 8.5, 8.6, and 8.7 for details). Cross bracing should be installed across the width of the scaffold at least every third set of posts horizontally and every fourth ribbon vertically (see Figures 2 and 5 for details).

1.6 NOTES AND REFERENCES

OTHER GUIDES A10.8-1988 ANSI Standard Construction and Demolition Operations --- Scaffolding --- Safety Requirements

1.7 SECTION CONTENTS

This section provides basic rigging information for the safe use of slings. Rigging requires careful evaluation because of the wide variety of safety factors which must be considered in each case. These factors include, but are not limited to: size and type of sling, the method of fastening, sheaves, sprockets, and drums, condition of equipment or material, size and shape of load, type of attachment, the lifting environment, weather and atmospheric conditions. Some serious hazards result from overloading, improper hitching or slinging which allow the load to drop or slip; obstructing free movement of loaded sling; and using equipment for a purpose not intended or designed.

1.8 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR RIGGING

1.8.1 SAFE USE OF SLINGS 1.8.1.1 Safe Operating Practice:
Slings that are damaged or defective should not be used. Slings should not be shortened with knots or bolts or other makeshift devices. Sling legs should not be kinked. Slings should not be loaded in excess of their rated capacities. Slings used in a basket hitch should have the loads balanced to prevent slippage. Slings should be securely attached to their loads. Slings should be padded or protected from the sharp edges of their loads. Suspended loads should be kept clear of all obstructions. All personnel should be kept clear of loads about to be lifted and of suspended loads. Hands or fingers should not be placed between the sling and its load while the sling is being tightened around the load. Shock loading is prohibited. A sling should not be pulled from under a load when the load is resting on the sling. Slings should be stored where they will not be damaged by extreme heat, corrosion, being run over, or being kinked.

1.8.2 TYPES OF SLINGS

Slings are available in alloy steel chain, wire rope with fiber core or steel rope core, metal mesh, natural or synthetic fiber rope, or synthetic wedding. Slings should be used in accordance with manufacturers recommendations and regulatory requirements.

1.8.3 RATED CAPACITY OF SLINGS

Care must be exercised when using tables and charts for slings. The units of measurements need to be noted in each case. Rated capacity may need to be reduced because of the configuration of attachment to load. Rated capacity may need to be reduced because of non-vertical load angel. Rated capacity may need to be reduced because of high or low operating temperatures. Rated capacity may need to be reduced because of end connection and splices. Rated capacity, where there is more than one leg, applies only where the load is distributed evenly between legs.

Tables are based on the use of new manila rope and tackle that is in good condition. If sisal rope is used, values in tables should be reduced by one third. Tackle values allow for one snatch block, snatching lead line to engine spool. When using more than one snatch block, add one extra part for each additional snatch block in addition to the number of parts shown for the weight to lift.
