    1. The document provides a risk assessment for using mobile scaffold towers at a construction site. It identifies hazards such as towers overturning, materials falling, overloading, and falls from height. 2. Controls are identified to reduce the risk, such as inspecting towers before use, erecting according to specifications, using stabilizers, guard rails, toe boards, and limiting platform width and loading. 3. With the controls in place, the residual risks are reduced to being controlled as reasonably practicable. The risk assessment was prepared, reviewed, and approved by various health and safety roles at the company.

    A tower scaffold will be inspected before use by a competent person who will be responsible, if
    necessary, for entries in the scaffold inspection register. Tower scaffold will be only erected, altered or
    dismantled by trained operatives in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications. It shall be erected
    01 Towers overturning 3 3 B 2 2 D
    on firm level ground for light work only. To ensure stability the height of base ratio of a mobile
    scaffold tower must not exceed manufacturer’s instructions 3.5:1 outside a building. Stabilizers may
    be used to increase height to base ratio.

    Working platforms shall be fully boarded and at least 600mm wide or at 800mm wide when materials
    02 Materials falling 3 3 B 2 2 D
    are deposited thereon.

    The wheels of mobile towers should not be less than 125mm in diameter, be marked with safe working
    03 Overloading 3 3 B 2 2 D
    load, locked into the base of standards and be fitted with brakes. Tower scaffolds must not be misused.

    Guard rails and toe boards must be fitted where persons can fall more than 2m. A safe means of access
    shall always be provided either by way of internal inclined stairway or a ladder lashed vertically to one
    04 Falls from height 3 3 B of the shortest sides. When mobile scaffold towers are being moved they will be pushed from the base. 2 2 D
