Hanging scaffold:
The hanging scaffolding is usually erected in places where it cannot be erected
or if erecting scaffold from the ground will be uneconomical.
The main supporting structure of hanging scaffolding systems must be
capable of withstanding at least 1.5 times the calculated load of the scaffold
Before erection, it must carefully survey the scene to select the appropriate
location (space, main anchor points, ...). After that, the designer will peform
detailed designs to ensure safety for later scaffolding works

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR OTHER SCAFFOLDS
Fabricated frame scaffold:
The fabricated frame scaffolds are quickly assembled together by frame and cross
braces. It often used in construction such as construction scaffold, modular scaffold,
etc. or the type of scaffold is made of aluminum alloy which BSR equip to use
The installation of this scaffold must comply with the manufacturer's instructions
and meet the requirements of the dept./section of the use of scaffold. The working
platforms must be fully covered before working. It must be specified a safe working
load on the body of scaffold
The Frame and components must have equivalent specifications. To ensure safety,
it is allowed to reinforce this type of scaffolding by using the materials of steel tube
scaffolding (tube, toe board) to enhance the rigidity of the scaffold and preventing
falling objects. For this type of scaffolding, it is allowed to replace the toe boards by
safety net to prevent the falling object.

Inspect the frame and components periodically and before use to replace
damaged materials .
65
INSPECTION AND SCAFFOLD’S TAG
Inspect before use:
After completing the erection of scaffolding, the relevant parties must inspect the whole scaffold
and hang tag before use (According to the form BSR-HSE-PRO-029 / F-002)
After insecting, The form (including periodic or unscheduled inspections) must be signed by
relevant parties and attached to PTW (allow to use a copy) before approval.
66
INSPECTION AND SCAFFOLD’S TAG
Periodic or unscheduled inspections
Weekly (no more than 7 days), scaffold must be inspected and signed on the
form BSR-HSE-PRO-029 / F-002 before attaching it to PTW to continue
scaffolding works at site
If it have any changes to the scaffolding structure, the scaffold must also be
inspected and re-tagged before use.
After inspecting, The green tag must be attached to scaffold with full
information such as load, inspection date, name and signature of inspectors.
