— Scaffold Accidents v An estimated 2.3 Million construction workers or 65% of the construction industry work on scaffolds frequently Y OSHA statistics report that about 28% of the scaffold accidents that occur are the result of construction deficiencies Y These deficiencies include: = Substandard components = Omitting essential components «= Failing to complete the assembly TEMPORARY STRUCTURE - ERECTION & DISMANTLING EEESCAFFOLD ERECTION STEPS First, you'll need to level the ground your scaffolding will sit on. Most scaffolding is designed to be used on flat, stable ground. Excavate or fill in dirt for an even surface. Lay sections of level boards underneath the footing to distribute weight and keep the structure steady. If you're working on an extreme slope, you may want to consider leg extensions. Organize all your scaffolding parts before you begin assembly. This way you can be certain that you have everything you need. ‘TEMPORARY STRUCTURE - ERECTION & DISMANTLINGSCAFFOLD ERECTION STEPS Place and align sole plates on the ground ‘TEMPORARY STRUCTURE - ERECTION & DISMANTLINGSCAFFOLD ERECTION STEPS Fix couplers to the galvanised tubes ‘TEMPORARY STRUCTURE - ERECTION & DISMANTLINGSCAFFOLD ERECTION STEPS TEMPORARY STRUCTURE - ERECTION & DISMANTLINGSCAFFOLD ERECTION STEPS Secure the kicker/foot-tie to the posts/standards a i. a ‘TEMPORARY STRUCTURE - ERECTION & DISMANTLINGSCAFFOLD ERECTION STEPS Join POST/STANDARD with sleeve couplers TEMPORARY STRUCTURE - ERECTION & DISMANTLINGSCAFFOLD ERECTION STEPS Secure LEDGER to the posts/standards TEMPORARY STRUCTURE - ERECTION & DISMANTLINGSCAFFOLD ERECTION STEPS Check verticality of the STANDARDS Tl ‘TEMPORARY STRUCTURE - ERECTION & DISMANTLINGSCAFFOLD ERECTION STEPS Secure the BEARER/TRANSOME to the POST/STANDARD ‘TEMPORARY STRUCTURE ~ ERECTION & DISMANTLINGSCAFFOLD ERECTION STEPS Provide bracing to the scaffold structure TEMPORARY STRUCTURE - ERECTION & DISMANTLINGSCAFFOLD ERECTION STEPS Secure intermediate transom to support the work platform TEMPORARY STRUCTURE - ERECTION & DISMANTLING
