Safety
Objectives
Supported scaffolds are scaffolds that are have an attachment to the ground
rather than are suspended by cables.
What is a “Competent Person”?
• A competent person
determines feasibility of fall
protection.
Cross bracing is acceptable in place of a midrail when the crossing point of two braces is
between 20 inches and 30 inches above the work platform.
Cross bracing can be used as a top rail when the crossing point is between 38 inches and 48
inches above the work platform.
The end points at each upright must be no more than 48 inches apart.
Examples of lack of fall protection
Provide a ladder, ramp or direct access
On a corner, planks that don’t come in at a right angle to the support must be
on the bottom and then overlapped by the planks that are at a right angle.
Example of Unstable Support
• Forklifts and
front-end loaders
not designed by
the manufacturer
for such use.
Guying, Tying or Bracing
• Don’t
• move a scaffold when
someone is on it.
• work on a scaffold covered
with snow or ice.
• work on a scaffold during a
storm or high winds.
• use boxes, barrels or a
ladder on top of a scaffold to
increase its height.
• Do clean up debris on
platforms before it
accumulates.
