THIS SYSTEM MUST BE FOLLOWED AT ALL TIMES!

1. You must submit and RFI (Request for Inspection) before assembling the scaffolding. We will check all of the following. 2. That scaffolding materials is sufficient quality for the work to be performed. It must be in excellent condition. Scaffolding materials cannot be damaged or bent. 3. Area's around the base of the scaffolding must be clear of construction debris i.e. concrete blocks, trash, other waste materials. Good housekeeping is extremely important. 4. The ground must be as level as possible. 5. Base plates and mud sills made of 2X9 or 2X12 planking must be put in place as scaffolding foundation. If the scaffolding is level or plumb, it will be level and plumb all the way to the top. If it is not level or plumb scaffolding will lean in the direction that is not level. Mudsills and base plates also prevent settling into the soil due to the weight of the scaffolding. Should it rain it will prevent the scaffolding from eroding or washing away. 6. Scaffolding must be assembled under our supervision or that of a "Competent Person". 7. Starting with the base it must be assembled one level at a time. You do not proceed to the next level until the first level is complete. 8. Each level, except for the bottom level must be fully planked with 2X9 or 2X12 construction grade wooden planks. They cannot be warped or cracked. There can be no holes, gaps or openings! Full planking means full planking! Planks may overlap each other 6 - 12 inches. Planks must extend past the edge of the structure 6 - 12 inches to prevent them from falling or collapse should they shift. 9. Toe boards must be installed along all edges of the scaffolding to prevent workers from slipping under the guard rails and falling. They also prevent tools and other materials from accidentally being kicked over the edge causing a falling objects hazard. Toe boards must be at least 4 inches in height. 10. Hand rails, midrails and guardrails must be installed on all levels of the scaffolding especially the top level to protect workers from falling. Top rail must be at least 39 inches/1 meter in height. 11. As workers ascend to a height greater than 10 feet or 3.2 meters they must don a safety harness and lanyard and tie off to a secure anchor point to prevent them from falling while assembling the upper levels of the structure. 100 % tie off 100 % of the time. 12. As the structure reaches each level it must be secured to the building by the use of anchor bolts or other suitable fastening device. The scaffolding must be at least 14 inches from the building, no greater than 24 inches. Secure the scaffolding to the building every 30 feet or approximately 10 meters.

13. Cross braces must be attached on all levels and secured. All couplers must be tightened securely. 14. Access ladders must be installed at both ends of the scaffolding structure for workers to ascend and descend as a means of egress. Access Ladders must go all the way to the top of the structure! Access ladders must be secured in place at the base and at the top. 15. Scaffolding must be inspected upon completion and daily there after by the ALMAWRED Safety Officer to ensure it is safe to work on. A scaffolding tag must be placed at access to state that it was inspected and safe. If it found unsafe a scaffolding tag must state at access that it is unsafe and workers must not use the scaffolding under any circumstances. 16. Workers may not work from scaffolding during high winds or heavy rain. 17. Be aware of overhead power lines and electrical hazards as metal scaffolding conducts electricity. 18. Anyone working above 10 feet must be wearing fall protection and be tied off at all times! 19.Scaffolding height may not exceed 4 times its minimum base dimension unless outriggers are used to provide additional support. 20.Scaffolding must support 4 times its intended weight load.
