DISMANTLING NOTES
AS ADAPTED FROM THE
SCAFFOLDING, SHORING & FORMING INSTITUTE (SSFI)
The work of dismantling scaffolding should be under the supervision of an individual with proper
experience and aptitude (competent person). The following should be observed while dismantling.
1. It shall be the responsibility of employees to read and comply with the following common sense
guidelines which are designed to promote safety in the dismantling of scaffolding. These guidelines
do not purport to be all inclusive nor supplant or replace other additional safety and precautionary
measures that may be necessary to cover usual or unusual conditions.
2. Check to see if scaffold has been structurally altered in any way which would make it unsafe; and,
if so, reconstruct where necessary before commencing with the dismantling procedures.
3. Dismantle scaffold from the top down. Begin by removing all accessories from that section being
dismantled at the time.
4. On stacked scaffolds do not remove ties and braces until dismantling has reached the section to
which they are attached.
5. Always work within the inside of the scaffolding.
6. When moving up or down the scaffold do not climb on ties, braces or unbraced components.
Climb over the top of the end frame. Do not swing around outside of the end frame.
7. Be sure that area below is clear of personnel not involved in the dismantling and is secured
against unauthorized access.
8. Lower scaffold components in a safe manner as they are dismantled. Avoid dropping or throwing
the components as this could result in injury to personnel below, or damage to the equipment.
9. Use energy absorbing lanyards and full body harness when feasible.
