The scaffolding components are clearly from various manufacturers. are specifically designed and constructed for use as ladder rungs, are not used as work platforms when rungs are less than 11 inches in length, unless each affected employee uses appropriate fall protection, have rungs which are uniformly spaced and a length of at least 8 inches, with a maximum space between rungs of 16 inches, have rest platforms provided at a maximum of 35 foot vertical intervals, a stair rail consisting of a toprail and a midrail on each side of the stairway, a toprail of each stair rail system capable of serving as a handrail, unless a separate handrail is provided, sufficient handhold on handrails, and toprails serving as handrails, for employees grasping them to avoid falling, stair rails and handrails surfaced to prevent punctures or lacerations to employees, and to prevent snagging of clothing, stair rails and handrails constructed so that they do not constitute a projection hazard, a space of at least 3 inches between handrails, or stair rails used as handrails, and other objects, a distance of no less than 28 inches and no more than 37 inches from the upper surface of the stair rail to the forward edge of the tread, in line with the face of the riser, a landing platform at least 18 inches wide by 18 inches long at each level, a scaffold stairway width of at least 18 inches between stair rails, slip-resistant surfaces on treads and landings, stairways installed between 40 degrees and 60 degrees from the horizontal, guardrails meeting OSHA requirements on the open sides and ends of each landing, uniform riser height, within -inch, for each flight of stairs, greater variations in riser height are allowed for the top and bottom steps of the entire system (not for each flight of stairs), uniform tread depth, within -inch, for each flight of stairs, Ensure ramps and walkways 6 feet or more above lower levels have guardrails that comply with. Do not use unstable objects such as loose bricks, blocks of wood or concrete to shore up the uneven surface. All scaffolding to be used on University property shall be tubular scaffolding designed by manufacturers approved by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) and/or OSHA and be in a ready-to-assemble state. Make sure employees do not use cross-braces as a means of access. A scaffold is a temporary structure erected to support access or working platforms. The competent person would need to know the individual scaffold base plate loading and if each one is below the maximum allowable deck loading. It is generally applied as a thin coat over a base coat and takes several days to achieve its designed strength. Be sure employees are able to safely access any level of a scaffold that is 2 feet above or below an access point. Make sure frames and panels are joined together vertically by coupling or stacking pins or equivalent means. The end points at each upright shall be no more than 48 inches. Ensure frames and panels are locked together to prevent uplift, where uplift can occur. 1.Wear personal fall arrest systems (PFAS). Access must be provided when the scaffold platforms are more than 2 feet (0.6 m) above or below a point of access. Select all that apply and then click DONE. c.Four times Direct access is acceptable when the scaffold is not more than 14 inches (36 cm) horizontally and not more than 24 inches (61 cm) vertically from the other surfaces. fall protection systems in place, falling object prevention in place, appropriate access / egress to and from the scaffold, appropriate anchorage and stability of the structure, appropriate walking / working surfaces, maintaining appropriate clearances from electrical hazards, etc.). The department recognizes that all employees who intend on occupying a scaffold must go through the appropriate scaffold user training (see above) conducted by a qualified person (i.e. a.15 feet Sand, gravel, masonry units, rolls of roofing felt, and other such materials shall not be used as counterweights. What do you need to do with a ladder that is defective? Poor foundation: Scaffold end frames, which have no base plate, are erected on top of scrap wood and unstable cement blocks.

Designing components in accordance with design specifications. The number one scaffold hazard is worker falls. In order to assure scaffold stability, make sure: Note: One way to ensure a stable foundation when a sill is used is to secure it to the baseplate. d. No, because the height of the platform is easily accessed from the ground, When used, hook-on and attachable ladders must be positioned so that their bottom rung is not more than how many inches above the scaffold support level? a. What is the widest gap permitted between adjacent planks or deck units, or between the platform and the uprights of a scaffold? Damaged or deteriorated equipment shall not be used. 1.Climb the cross braces. The footing of scaffolding must be sound and rigid, capable of supporting the weight. Cross bracing is not acceptable as an entire guardrail system but is acceptable for a toprail when the crossing point of the two braces is between 38 inches (0.9 meters) and 48 inches (1.3 meters) above the work platform and for midrails when between 20 inches (0.5 meters) and 30 inches (0.8 meters) above the work platform. Additionally, there is no material cohesion; during a storm the material can wash away under the scaffold base plates. 1.Slips and falls The team is given a set of scaffolding components to assemble. b.1 inch The following sections can be referenced for specific guidelines when using scaffolds at Princeton. answers again.
