WARNING!
Do not use suspended scaffolds unless:

requirements.
b. You have personally made sure that:
i. the scaffolding support system or rigging is complete, properly assembled,
counterweighted (or otherwise anchored), tied off, and not overloaded; and,
ii. hoists and platforms are not overloaded.
c.
The wire rope is free of defects and is the size and type specified for the hoist;
d.
Guardrails and toe boards are properly installed;
e. The main suspension wire rope is vertical.
12. Use approved PPE personnel harnesses, lanyards, rope grabs, and independent lifelines
at all times. Attach the lifelines to a structural member of the building or structure, never to
part of the rigging unless specifically designed for this purpose.
13. Comply with all local, providential, and federal safety codes and equipment instructions.
14. Do not allow anyone under suspended equipment. If necessary, provide protection below
the suspended equipment to prevent injury to people from falling objects. Use lanyards to
secure tools and materials so they do not fall on personnel below.

16. Make sure that the electrical cord and wire rope are long enough to allow full travel of the
work platform.
Wire Rope
17. Use only wire ropes approved by Spider

tangle-free condition.
18. Inspect the wire rope before rigging. Handle and inspect wire rope carefully during and
after each job. Use protective gloves when handling wire rope. Do NOT lubricate the wire
rope.
