SYSTEM
ANCHOR POST IMPLEMENTATION BY MEINHARDT
L3 Contractor contribution: Enotek, PJC, IPM
ANCHOR POST
Anchor post installation and practices during working on top the roof area.
ANCHOR POST

Guideline for working on top building/canopy area (roof) – maintain 1.8m safe distance from
the edge and 100% tied off to anchor post with no free walking.
ANCHOR POST
Step 1:
a. Identify suitable area for scaffolding erection and ensure proper working isolation for
scaffolding
b. Scaffolding must be erected up to 1m height from the building top level to ensure worker
has proper access from scaffolding to building top (no climbing / jumping allowed)

1m
ANCHOR POST
Step 2:
a. Mobilise access ladder to access from building roof top to canopy
b. Install anchor post at safe distance near scaffolding where double lanyard harness is
required to ensure 100% protected from falling hazard. When movement from scaffolding
either from/to anchor post installed, double lanyard harness works as it is, where there is
potential of falling in between (gap) scaffolding and building (this is applicable for shop
building with corrugated roof sheet)
ANCHOR POST
Step 3:
a. Anchor post (individual use) installation at identified area with life line installation can be
made as secondary option.
b. Indicator line / marking are recommended to be implemented to indicate safe distance
(1.8m away from the building / canopy edge)

INSPECTION BY COMPETENT PERSON

Factories & Machinery Act 1976 (BOWEC) (Safety) Regulations 85, Part X - Scaffolding

Definition Of Competent Person?

Competent Person is a person who have a minimum Level 1 Qualification in Scaffolding Works.
Scaffold Tags

Inspections for Equipment Used When Working at Height

Scaffolding shall be conspicuously tagged with a red tag at the beginning of scaffold construction to
indicate that it cannot be used. Before a scaffold (including wheeled scaffolds) is used, a competent
person shall inspect the scaffold to determine it is safe for use.

In addition, the scaffold shall be visually inspected for potential damage and defects by a competent person
before each work shift and after any occurrence that could damage or otherwise affect a scaffold's
structural integrity. The scaffold shall be conspicuously tagged with a red tag to indicate it is not safe for
use if it is determined the scaffold is damaged or defective.

The competent person who inspected the scaffold shall replace the red tag with a green tag only after he or
she has determined the scaffold is safe for use.
Scaffold Terminology
DOSH REQUIREMENT FOR SCAFFOLDING
• Scaffold floorboards, stairwells, ladders and
all means of access must be free from
obstructions that can cause workers to trip
and fall
• Scaffolds must be erected by a competent
scaffold erector
• Guardrails, midrails and toe boards should
be in place. The minimum height for the top
guardrail is 1 meter. An exception can be
made for scaffold used for the façade/brick
work as long as the distance between wall
and scaffold (wall facing side) is less than
20 centimeters.
• Scaffolds should always be labeled with
green or red tags as applicable or similar
local requirement.
• Ladders or other objects must not be placed
on scaffolds to increase height
• Base plates and mudsills must be used on
soft ground
• The height of the scaffold cannot exceed
3.5 times the minimum base dimension
(short side)
• Scaffolds shall not be used or built when
winds exceed 50 km per hour (35 miles
per hour)
• A barricade shall be constructed 1.5
meters (5 feet) from the base of the
scaffold
• The use of a safety harness on a properly
erected scaffold is not required.
• Scaffolds should be visual assessed
before every shift,
• Control measures should be in place to
avoid non approved access when left
overnight. This is not applicable within a
fenced area.
Shell Requirements

Wheeled / Mobile Scaffolds

• Wheeled scaffolds should be erected as per manufacturer’s manual and design.
Maximum working height 3 meters outdoors and 3.5 meters indoors (refer to MOC)
• All steel mobile scaffolds are banned from use on Shell sites, since the weight might
hinder good working practices and they are more prone to assembly issues. Finally the
risk of cuts and abrasion is much higher.
• The wheeled scaffold shall not be moved with people or lose and unstable equipment on
top of them.
• After moving a mobile scaffold it should always be inspected visually and checked for
stable support and locked wheels.
• Wheeled scaffolds designed for external access according to manufacturer’s guidelines
can be accessed externally.
• All wheels must be locked when wheeled scaffold towers are in use
• If out riggers are available on the equipment, they must be deployed

Temporary Change: A short term change that follows the same process (criteria and tracking) as permanent
changes. Only allowed for up to 6 months, then a new review and approval is required.

Emergency Change: Emergencies where an unplanned change is needed immediately to reduce the risk of a
safety, security, health or environmental incident. Once control is regained, the normal MOC process shall be
followed. In no case is it acceptable to proceed without first having analyzed the HSSE risks and putting
barriers in place to prevent unintended HSSE consequences.

Current formulation in the W@H document 3.0:

Wheeled scaffolds should be erected as per manufacturer’s manual and design. Maximum working height 3
meters outdoors and 3.5 meters indoors." In three cases this allowed height is not enough.

Aluminum Scaffold Erection Process

Things to watch for;

Suitable gloves should be worn when erecting or dismantling

scaffold to prevent hand injury.
Aluminum Scaffold Erection Process

Things to watch for;

Unlocked Locked

All castor wheels must be locked during erection, use and dismantling
of scaffold.
Aluminum Scaffold Erection Process

Things to watch for;

All hooks are properly attached to the rungs with the lock intact.
Aluminum Scaffold Erection Process

Things to watch for;

Erector must be fully protected by guardrails during erection.

Working from the ladder is not allowed.
Aluminum Scaffold Erection Process

Things to watch for;

Outriggers must be installed at all 4-sides. Erector should do

the installation from the guarded platform.
Outriggers should be fully extended to increase the base width.
Aluminum Scaffold Erection Process

Things to watch for;

Clamps tightly fitted and outriggers firmly sits on the ground with its pad in
correct position.
Aluminum Scaffold Erection Process

Things to watch for;

There should be a barrier to prevent workers from climbing from the sides.
Aluminum Scaffold Erection Process

Things to watch for;

The Safe Working Load (SWL) and Green Tag should be

displayed at a suitable location
Aluminum Scaffold Erection Process

Things to watch for;

To increase the height of the work platform, make sure the gap is at
a maximum of 1 rung from its supposed location.
Bigger gaps would make it hard for workers to step on it.
Best Practice
Unsafe Practice
Unsafe Practice

Power line clearance

Examples of scaffolds too close to power lines

 Worker must be trained on:

• Recognizing hazards of the type of scaffold they’ll be using

• Understanding the procedures to control or minimize hazards

• Hazards including: electrical, falling off the scaffold, and falling objects

• How to erect, maintain and disassemble the fall protection and falling object
protection systems

• Using the scaffold and handling materials on the scaffold

• Maximum intended load and capacity

• Other information as needed

Fatal Fact – No Guardrails, Fatality

Laborer was working on the

third level of a tubular
welded frame scaffold which
was covered with ice and
snow

The scaffold was not fully

decked, there was no
guardrail and no access
ladder

The worker slipped and fell

head first 20 feet to the
pavement below
MUDSILL (SOLE PLATE)

▪ Platforms supported by legs, outrigger

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

▪ Restrain from tipping by guys, ties, or

This support is braces
not adequate!
▪ Scaffold poles, legs, posts, frames, and
uprights must be on base plates and mud
sills or other firm foundation
You have the greatest RISK of death or injury when
working on scaffolding so make Sure that the
scaffold you’re working on is completely SAFE
Summary
