Good morning class! Let us start our day by asking guidance to our Lord. (Name of student) will
you lead the prayer?

Good morning ma’am.

Class Secretary are there any absent for today? Thank you.

None, ma’am.

b. Review Class, do you still remember our lesson yesterday? Then can anyone from the class
tell me what was the lesson tackled yesterday? What are those different wood defects?

Student’s Activity

Are you ready to pray classmates? Yes, we are. Let us pray. (Prays the Lord’s Prayer)

Yes, ma’am. Our lesson yesterday is about the different wood defects.      

next lesson. c. Lesson Proper

Lecture Discussion Scaffold is an elevated temporary structure having platform used to support
workers, equipment and other materials. For today’s lesson we will be tackling the parts of
wooden scaffolding. The following are parts: 1. Outrigger is the part of the scaffolds that holds
the platforms. (shows a picture)

The outrigger is a triangular bracket that clamps to the bottom of a scaffold tower or system to
increase the base width, in order to increase stability of the scaffold or tower. 2. Uprights or
Posts are used to support the structure.

(shows a picture)

The uprights or post are the vertical tubes that transfer the entire weight of the structure to the
ground where they rest on a square base plate to spread the load. 3. Platforms are raised floors
used to step on by workers while working. (shows a picture)
4. Diagonal Braces are used to prevent the lateral movements of the scaffold. (shows a picture)

It also called the “X” bracing or cross bracing. It is a scaffold tube placed diagonally with respect
to the vertical and horizontal members of a scaffold and fixed them to give the scaffold stability.

5. Cleats are fixed to support outriggers. (shows a picture)

The cleat is a device used for locking the tubes of a tube and coupler scaffold. It is a structural
block used at the end of a platform to prevent the platform from slipping. 6. Horizontal Support is
a part that holds the lower portion of the legs or the upright support of the scaffolding. (shows a
picture)

Since now that I have finished the discussion on the parts of scaffolding let us move on into the
safety rules in the construction of wooden scaffolding. Assemblers and user must be familiar
with the safety rules and must follow safety practices. Below are the safety rules in constructing
wooden scaffolding, everybody please read..? Never use decayed lumber or lumber with knots,
wind shakes and splinters because they easily break. If not brace properly it can cause
accidents

Use strong lumber for the scaffolding.

Properly brace the uprights of the scaffolding to prevent lateral

to the workers. Always check the braces of uprights.

movement. 

Nail all the platforms to their supports.

Place enough support for the platform.

Avoid long protruding platforms beyond supports. If they cannot be avoided, place another
support at the end.

Properly secure the supports the bracket and cantivaler scaffolds.

A haphazard placing of the different parts of scaffolding might make it necessary to dismantle
and reconstruct the scaffold. This is a waste of time, effort and money.

The construction and location of the different parts of scaffolding should be well planned so that
they will not affect the proper placing of the building.

So that the workers on the platform do not have to stoop or stand on their toes while doing the
job.

The platform should be at a convenient height.

The platforms should be at level, unless the particular job requires a sloping.

If the platforms are not nailed, they may slip or tip off.

Unsupported overhanging platforms may break or tip off when stepped upon.

Alright let us now move on some hints in the construction of wooden scaffolding. Everybody will
you read..?

For the class to understand better on how to construct wooden scaffolding I had prepared a
video presentation. Watch carefully the video. (play a 10-15 minutes video presentation)
