Spotlight on Scaffolding!
Major Scaffolding Collapse Milton Keynes 11 th April 2006
20 Injuries, 3 Major injuries including 1 Fatal
HSE Investigation complete, fatalities due to poorly managed scaffold, fines of £130,000 / 11B/ INR

Spotlight on Scaffolding!
Why do scaffolds collapse?
• Poor Design,
• Poor Construction,
• Inadequate ties or sub-structure,
• Wrong modification,
• Adverse weather – High Winds,
• Overloading,
• Or a combination.
Spotlight on Scaffolding!
HSE recommends that those arrangements are reviewed regularly and that reviews take
account of factors which include, but are not limited to…
• Scaffold Design,
• Securing scaffolding to structures,
• Loadings on scaffolding, including wind impact,
• Risk of direct impact by construction plant or vehicles,
• Frequency and thoroughness of scaffold inspections,
• Systems for handover of new or adapted scaffolds,
• Competence of Scaffolders,
• Adequacy of the scaffold foundations,
• Prevention of unauthorised modifications.
• Scaffold Means any Temporary Elevated Platform
(Supported or Suspended) and its supporting structure,
used for supporting Employees or Materials or Both.

TERMINOLOGY -
Standard/ Vertical:
The vertical tubes that carry the entire load to the ground.
Ledger/ Runner:
The horizontal tubes that connect and support the standards.
Transoms/ Bearer:
Are placed horizontally at right angles across the ledgers
adjacent to each pair of standards.
Bay:
The distance between one standard to other standard.
Kicker Lift:
A lift erected near to the ground.
Lift:
The assembly of ledgers and transoms forming each horizontal
level of a scaffold.
Lift Height:
The vertical distance between two lifts. Measured centre to
center. (2M (Max))
TERMINOLOGY -
Sole Board/ Base Plate:
A timber, concrete or metal spreader used to distribute the load from a
standard or base plate to the ground.
Brace:
A tube placed diagonally with respect to the vertical or horizontal members
of a scaffold and fixed to them to afford stability.
Toe board:
An up stand normally at the outer edge of a platform intended to prevent
materials or operative’s feet from slipping off the platform.
Guard rail:
A member incorporated into a structure to prevent the fall of a person from
a platform or access way.
Working platform:
The deck from which building operations are carried out.
AN EXAMPLE OF COMPLETE
SCAFFOLDING
LOAD MEMBERS IN SCAFFOLD
In scaffold Post, Runner, Bearer these are three main load Members.
Rest of these three components, all are supportive members in Scaffold.

• Bay Length - Is the
measurement between post in
length of scaffold.
S C A F F O L D I N G B AY S -
• Scaffold Width - Is the
measurement between 2 set of
post in width of Scaffold.
S C A F F O L D I N G B AY S -
Lift Height -
• The Lift Height is measure between Runner to
Runner Levels.
• Maximum Lift Height 2M.
NODE POINT IN SCAFFOLD
Node Point means which is connected with Post, Runner and Bearer.
Node Point is the strongest part of the scaffold.

Scaffold Leveling
Scaffold Square
Rigid Scaffold
Plumb
SCAFFOLD TUBE INSPECTION:
• Before commencing erection, Inspect all materials properly
by a competent scaffolder.
• Never use defective equipment's.
• Any damage material found should be segregated and placed
in quarantine area for maintenance or replace.
SCAFFOLD COUPLERS/ FITTINGS
-
• Scaffold fittings should be sorted by type and should be kept clean and dry.
• The fittings should also be lightly oiled to prevent rust.
• Shall be stored in metal bins placed on pallets for mechanical handling.
• Any broken or damaged fittings should be discarded
• Rusty threads (if they are not defective) should be wire brushed and lightly oiled.
SCAFFOLD PLANKS/ BOARDS
INSPECTION:
• Check for damage/ frayed or cut.
• Physical deteriorated planks should not be allowed to use.
• Planks stiffener or supporter on uniformly should be on place
while in use.
