Suspended Scaffolds (Hanging Scaffolds)
Prior to the commencement of any scaffolding operations, please refer to Sections
1.4.1
General Safety Notes
and
1.5 Assembly Procedures
.
There are many variations in the design and construction of hanging scaffolds. The following
instructions are intended as an example only of one type based on the final design of the
hanging structure.
All hanging scaffolds are subject to design and verification of that design prior to scaffolding
works commencing.
Note
When constructing a hanging scaffold structure you MUST pin the standards using
high tensile M16 Nuts and Bolts.
2. Fit connecting Horizontals (transoms)
from tower structure to allow connection
of hanging Standards.
3. Fit Guardrails and Horizontals (ledgers)
and tie Standards back to the tower
structure using diagonal face braces
ensuring all components are securely
locked.
4. Fit Decks.
1. Assemble the tower structure using
additional Base Jacks upturned in the
Standards that can then be adjusted
to fit tight against the underside of the
floor above. This provides structural
stability.
This should be carried out in strict
accordance with design drawings and
appropriate plan bracing fitted.
