Replace or clean any plates or stickers that provide information on how to use the unit or on safety.
Check:
Statutory checks (stipulated in the order of December 21, 2004) are as follows:
A check must be made on every worksite before the unit is put into use:
- For the first time,
- After the scaffolding has been dismantled and re-assembled.
- After any modifications in the scaffolding’s conditions of use, or in weather or environmental conditions
that are liable to affect its safety when used.
- Whenever the scaffolding has not been used for at least one month.
This check must include appropriateness testing, an assembly and installation check and a working
condition check. Traceability of this check will be confirmed formally on the establishment’s safety register.
Daily checks
This includes a check on good running order.
Traceability of this check is formalized by a sheet attached to the access hatch.
Quarterly checks
In the case of mobile scaffolding, this check covers the same points as the daily check. The check is to be
made at least once every three months and must be confirmed formally on the establishment’s safety
register.
N.B.:
These checks may only be carried out by personnel holding a qualification certificate issued by the
head of the establishment bearing the words “Controller and user”.
For more information and details concerning control checklists, see RECO R.457, appendix 3, 3bis, 4, 5 and
6.

Before dismantling:
- Make sure that the scaffolding is stable:
- With wheel brakes on
- Stabilizers correctly positioned. etc.

During dismantling:

Use the same procedure as for assembly but in the reverse order
, beginning to fold and attach the
diagonal,
take off the pin, unlock the hing and clips the diagonal on the ladder. Re-engage the
locking pivots in position when the ladders are in the “down” position (the “STOP” sticker at the
bottom of the ladders must be in line with the sticker on the locking pivot). Take care when folding
