Headstock
A member secured to the top of a tom to distribute the load exerted by the tom.
Height
In relation to a building or structure or intended building or structure, means the
measurement that is obtained by vertical measurement of the distance between the
highest point of the building or structure or intended building or structure and the surface
of the site.
In relation to a point at which a workman is supported or intended to be supported on
scaffolding, means the distance between that point and the surface on which the
scaffolding stands.
Hop-up-bracket
A frame designed to be secured to a standard to support a working platform and
includes a side wall bracket.
Ledger
A tube fixed horizontally to the standards to tie the scaffolds longitudinally which may
support the putlogs.
Ledger bracing
Similar to ‘heel and toe’ bracing, but fitted to ledgers by double couplers.
Lift

6.0 ACTIVITIES
6.1 FITTINGS/DEVICES
Ladders shall comply with the appropriate Nigerian Statutory Regulations and the
following TEPNG/HISL requirements, as appropriate:

Every ladder shall stand on a firm and even base and be supported only by the
stiles. Where practicable the ladder should be set at a slope or 4:1 (vertical to
horizontal).
A ladder shall be securely held at the top by fixings to the stiles and shall be so
secured that it cannot move from its top or bottom points of rest.
A ladder shall project at least 1m above the landing place with the landing rung
level with or slightly above the landing platform. A ladder raising a vertical
height of more than 7m shall be provided with an intermediate-landing place.
The vertical distance between any two successive landing places shall not
exceed 7m.
There should be at least 200mm vertical and horizontal clearances behind each
rung of a ladder to permit a safe foothold to be obtained when ascending and
descending.
Each landing place shall not be less than 1400 x 700mm and shall have
guardrails. Gaps in guardrails left for access to landing places should be as
small as is reasonably practicable.
Landing places shall not be used as working platforms or for the deposit of
materials.
Single stile ladders will not be used nor any ladder where the battens or rungs
are secured by nails or screws alone.

Battens will be 'bird mouthed' into the stile at least 8mm, to take the downward
load.
Rungs will be 'set-in' to the stile and a tie rod inserted every 8 th rung to prevent
them spreading.
Ladders with wire reinforcing in the stiles or metal ladders will not be used near
electrical wiring or installations.
Ladders will extend 1metre above the landing platform. They should slope 4:1
this is the natural slope for the hands to grip the stiles while retaining a straight
back).
HARRYBEAT will Arrange the ladder so that they can step off the side onto the
platform,
A ladder (other than a steel trestle ladder) shall not be used to support a
working platform.
The more ladders are used the more they should be inspected. One should make
a habit of checking a ladder before ascending or descending. The inspection is to
detect shakes in the timber, loose or cracked rungs, decay, corrosion of metal parts
etc.

Not more than one (1) workman or other person shall be on a ladder at any one
time and when ascending or descending, such workman or person shall face the
ladder.
b. The planks will be of sound timber and shall not project more than 250mm,
nor less than 150mm, past the supports. All scaffold planks will be securely
lashed at each end with a non-flammable type material.

be such that when assembled, but before tightening, no part can be detached
by inadvertent action
have a tightening bolt of not less than 12mm in diameter with a hexagonal nut
be provided with a rib or recess not less than 1.5mm in height to prevent the
bolt and washer from being displaced from the coupler, unless the geometry of
the fitting positively holds the bolt in position
Where a hinge is provided, have a hinge pin not less than 8mm in diameter
Accurately embrace over the whole area of its bearing surfaces the member or
members on which it is used.

Tubular metal scaffolding shall not carry more than 2 working platforms across the

Towers can be constructed with either frame scaffolding or tube and coupler
scaffolding. However, only tube and coupler towers are dealt with in this section.
Towers are usually erected around cantilever hoists to support the protective mesh and
sliding mesh gates. Also towers are often used as access ways with a series of
landings and ladders or stairs erected within the tower.

A tower is basically 4 parallel trusses on end and joined in the form of a box.
The load on a horizontal truss is downwards, but when set up vertically; the loads
(wind, impact, etc) could be either way and must comply with the following
requirements:
Erection
Towers generally consist of four standards with horizontal members (ledgers) and
diagonal bracing fitted on each face. The braces are fixed to the ledgers with right
angle couplers.
Ties
Access Towers
Landing places which should be no more than 6m apart are formed by fully decking the
platform which must be not less than 1,400mm x 700mm. Gaps in guard rails and toe
boards left for the access ladder shall be as small as possible.
A designated competent person shall inspect scaffolds before each shift prior to use.
The competent person shall fill out the inspection tag and attach it to the point of access.
Scaffold tag shall be updated daily before work or immediately following any repairs or
alterations. The competent person will be required to sign off on the tag.
Scaffold tags shall contain the working information shown on the next page.
