Make sure that all selected scaffolding components are constructed to the requirements of the ANSI and ASTM.
It’s a good idea to store scaffolding components as close as possible to the work area; this will reduce distances over which loads have to be manually moved.
To find out the load capacity for scaffolding components check with the manufacturer.
When dismantling NEVER drop scaffolding components from heights. As well as damaging the components it may cause injury or even death to persons below.
A clamp connector is used to join two scaffolding components together rapidly and securely.
NEVER use damaged scaffolding components.
Handy hint: Leave a section of scaffolding platform open to enable the lowering of boards and other scaffolding components between levels.
Never mix scaffolding components that are not designed to be compatible.
Scaffolding is designed for use in the construction of buildings enabling builders to build very high structures.
