SAFETY MANAGEMENT

SCAFFOLDS AND
BARRICADES
SCAFFOLDS
What are scaffolds?
An elevated, temporary work platform
and its supporting structure used for
supporting materials or employees or
both
types
Supported scaffolds is hung with
cord from the ceiling or top of a
construction or structure
Suspended a mobile scaffolds that
is suspended from ropes or cables.
Also known as a swinging scaffold.
Aerial lifts/scissor lifts are
essentially elevated
Risk
Falls from elevation can be caused by
slipping., unsafe access, and lack of fall
protection
Struck by from falling tools and debris.
Electrocution from overhead powerlines
Scaffolds collapse often caused by
instability of overloading.
Bad planking may give way to
materials or occupant load
Guardrails
Guardrails should be installed along
open sides and ends
TYPES OF GUARDRAILS
Along the front edge- of platforms not more
than its inches from the work. For lathing and
plastering a gap of 18 inches is permitted
Top rails- should be no less than 38 and no
more than 45 inches tall
Midrails should be place halfway between
top rail and platform. For construction work,
midrails may not be spaced more than 19
inches apart
Toeboards must be at least 3- 1/2 inches
high. Open spacing between the toe board
and platform cannot exceed inches
Fall protection requirements
PFAS (PERSONAL Fall Arrest Systems) instead of
guardrails- can be used on scaffolding when
there are no guardrails systems.
Fall Arrest and guardrails systems- must be
used on working on single and two-point
adjustable suspension scaffolds self- contained
scaffolds that are supported by rope.
PFAS on erectors and dismantlers a
competent person must determine the
feasibility and safety of providing fall protection
for employees erecting and dismantling
supported scaffolds
Falling object protection
Hardhats
Barricade
Panels or screens
Canopy or net
Exception
insulated lines of less than 300
volts have a safe distance of only 3
feet
TIP:
Because it may be difficult to
determine if a power line is
insulated, or what its exact voltage
is, the 10 ft. rule should always be
applied.
-De-energized the lines -relocated
the lines or installed protective
coverings to prevent accidental
contact with the lines.
Essential Elements of Safe Scaffold
Construction
Appropriate construction To
control the risk of a scaffold falling
or collapsing

Proper Access Direct access to or


from another surface.
Ramps and walkways- 6 feet
above lower levelsmust have
guardrails.
Scaffold Platform Construction

Platforms must be Fully planked

Able to support

Scaffolds Able to support


Gaps No gaps larger than 1 inch are
permitted between adjacent planks or deck
units, or between the platform and the
uprights.

Exception A larger gap (NOT TO EXCEED


9-1/2 inches) is permitted when the
employer can demonstrate, a 1 inch or less
gap is not feasible.

Overlap platforms at least 12 inches over


supports, unless restrained to prevent
movement.
Supported Scaffolds
Foundation Scaffold poles, legs, posts, frames,
and uprights must be on base plates and mud
sills or other firm foundations.

Supports Platforms supported by legs,


outrigger beams, brackets, poles uprights,
posts, & frames

Restraints Guys, ties and braces must be


installed at locations where horizontal scaffold
components support both inner and outer legs.
Barricades
What is barricades?
Barricades shall be erected to
prevent personnel from inadvertently
been
exposed to a hazard.
Types of Barricading
Soft Barricades-They are to be used to
identify and protect
personnel from general hazards and also
those which are high risk and may pose a
risk to life and health.

Solid Barricades-The purpose of a solid


barricade is to provide a physical barrier
capable of performing the same function
as a permanent guardrail.
Method of Barricading
Caution Barricades-tape shall be erected
to inform personnel of an uncontrolled
hazard within the barricaded area
Restricted Access Barricades-
shall be erected to prevent unauthorized
personnel` from accessing
the barricaded area
Electrical Work Barricades-
is to be erected to prevent access to
electrical hazards
High Voltage Testing Barricades-is
to be erected around the item
under test to provide a
minimumsafe approach distance.
Safety Requirement for lights-
barricades are installed across
roadways and will remain in
place during hours of darkness
Removal of Barricades
Tapes and barricades shall be
removed once they are
no longer required
Construction Work areas
For work which is part of a
construction activity including
where a principal contractor is
appointed, Danger Construction
work area signs shall be used
Responsibilities
Manager- The Manager Operations shall ensure that this
procedure is implemented and maintained throughout the
operations.
Coordinators & Supervisors
Shall ensure the:
- maintenance of the barricade in accordance with the
procedure.
- sufficiency of the supplies

Employees and Contractors


Shall ensure that:
-They do not access a barricaded area unless the conditions
detailed on the barricade sign are complied
-They monitor and maintain the condition of barricades in their
work areas.
Training and Competencies
Training Records The People
Services Department is responsible
for managing & maintaining all
training records.
