13. Do employees working on scaffolds need to be trained?
Per OSHA, all employees must be trained on any type of scaffold; if the scaffold is not fully planked, guard railed and toe boarded, a personal fall arrest system or other fall protection is also required.
14. Where can I find more information on scaffold safety?
To safely use scaffolding and comply with Federal OSHA requirements, obtain a copy of OSHA regulations covering your specific type of scaffolding. In addition to OSHA regulations, additional guidelines can assist you in product safety compliance:rnrnwww.osha.gov (OSHA) Offers free downloads of OSHA standards 1926.450-1926.454, governing proper erection, inspection and use of scaffold products.rnrnwww.scaffold.org (Scaffold Industry Association)Offers print, VHS and CD-ROM for-purchase products to assist erectors and users of scaffold. Lists over 60 Accredited Training Institutes throughout the U.S. and Canada offering hands-on safety training.rnrnwww.nsc.org (National Safety Council)Offers the ANSI A10.8-2001 Safety Requirements for Scaffolding for purchase. Written by industry professionals, the standards cover erection, inspection and safe scaffold use.rnrnwww.ssfi.org (Scaffold, Shoring and Forming Institute)A free Code of Safe Practices download offers common sense guidelines for erecting and using scaffold.
15. What kind of training is need for employees working on scaffolds?
Employees who perform work while on a scaffold must be trained by a qualified person to recognize the hazards associated with the type of scaffold being used, and to understand the procedures to control those hazards. Training shall include: The nature of any electrical hazards, fall hazards, and falling object hazards in the work area; The correct procedures for dealing with those hazards; The proper use of the scaffold, and the proper handling of materials on the scaffold; The maximum intended load and the load-carrying capacity of the scaffold; and any other pertinent requirements.
16. Do I have to have guardrails on a 5 ft high scaffold?
OSHA requires guardrails on any scaffold 10’ or higher off the ground. Specific jobsites can require guardrails at 6’ or that any scaffold be guard railed. They are ALWAYS recommended regardless of height for any unprotected sides or edges.
17. What are supported scaffolds?
Supported scaffold means one or more platforms supported by outrigger beams, brackets, poles, legs, uprights, posts, frames or similar rigid support.
18. Why do you offer packages?
We offer packages so you don't have to be a scaffold expert. Everything is included. You don't have to worry about whether the stack pins, or spring rivets, or the right number of walk boards are included. We have it already completely figured to make it very easy to decide what you need. All you have to do is figure the height and size platform as discussed above and we probably have a package already put together.
19. How do I figure out what I need?
Simply decide what height at which you need to stand. You may need to measure this as you want to be accurate and guessing isn't the best way to figure this. This is generally referred to as the "platform height." We quote all our packages with the platform height listed. This is the actual, or very close to, height your feet will be located. "Working height" is usually figured by adding 6 ft to the platform height. Once you have the height you next need to decide what length you would like to have. More is better. All our packages come in a standard 7 ft length. Widths are standardized at 5 ft, but we do offer narrow packages for specialty or "tight" areas. So our basic platform will be 5 ft wide and 7 ft long. This is the area you have to walk around and work in. If you want a longer work area then the increments are 7 ft. So the next size in length is 14 ft. And so on....21 ft.......28 ft......35 ft. The same is true of the height. Think of scaffolding as building blocks (or Lego sets for the kid in you) where you stack one set, or "block", on top of the next. For our 5x5 sets which are 5 ft high and 5 ft wide each set adds 5 ft of height.
