1. Wheel the Scaffold to the area where it will
be used, grasping and pushing the scaffold
at points no higher than 5 feet off the floor
to help prevent tipping.
the surface where
this Scaffold is placed must be capable
of supporting the loaded Scaffold without
settling or displacement. Use this Scaffold
on concrete or asphalt concrete only.

FrOM inStaBiLity:
Use a level to verify that the Scaffold frame is
plumb and level in all directions. “Eyeballing” the
straightness of the Scaffold is not accurate enough.
3. A ladder should normally be used to climb onto the
Scaffold.
the ladder must be positioned so as
not to tip the Scaffold when weight is placed
against it.
Any “attachable” ladders used must
be specifically designed for this type of Scaffold.
They must clamp securely in place to the Scaffold
and any ladder used must be securely held in
place during use to prevent movement. Any
ladder (normal or stairway type) must meet
OSHA requirements for use with scaffolds.
4. If the Scaffold will be accessed directly (such as
from an opening in the side of a building), it cannot
be more than 14 inches horizontally nor more
than 24 inches vertically from the other surface.
5.
Each worker on a scaffold more than 10 feet
above a lower level MUSt be protected from
falling to that lower level.
Fall protection
consists of either personal fall arrest systems, or
guardrail systems meeting OSHA requirements.
6. For most activities, there must be no more than
a 14 inch gap between the Scaffold platform and
the structure being worked on. One exception
is when using for lathing and plastering.
For this, a gap of 18 inches is permitted.
7. If toe-boards, guardrails, or canopies are used to
prevent a “falling object” hazard to passers-by,
then the area below the Scaffold must be
barricaded and the danger clearly stated.
8. All plug-in electric tools used on the Scaffold
must be protected by a GFCI outlet or plug.
9. When finished using the Scaffold, wipe down the
Wood Platform (3) and all metal supports. Then
store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
note:
Be aware of any grease or other oily substance
spilled on Wood Platform and wipe up immediately.
