TLE Grade 10 This module
contains training materials
and activities for you to
complete.
The unit of competency
Install Formworks
Components contains the
knowledge, skills, and
attitudes required for a
Carpentry course Grade 10.
You are required to go through
a series of learning activities in
order to complete the learning
outcome Lay out and
Assemble Scaffolds and
Braces of this module. In each
learning outcome there are
information sheets, and
activity sheets. Follow these
activities on your own and
answer the Self-Check at the
end of each learning activity.
The information content of this
quarter is about the wooden type

lines where appropriate to the handling method. Never
allow excessive quantities of components to be stockpiled
on partially complete scaffolds. Stock only sufficient
components consistent with the progress of the work.
Lower dismantled components as soon as possible. Never
drop components deliberately.

9
K. The tying of the scaffold to the structure is of
great importance to the stability and safety of the
scaffold. Assure that the structure to which the
scaffold is tied or anchored is capable of safely
supporting all loads imposed on the scaffold.

10
L. Free standing scaffolds other than wall
scaffolds must be restrained from tipping
by guying or other means or otherwise
stabilized as appropriate, recognizing that
stability is essential to the safety of the
scaffold.
11
M. Install guardrails, N. Never use ladders or
mid-rails, and toe- makeshift devices on top
boards at all openings, of scaffolds to increase
open sides, and ends of the height. Never place
every work platform or stand a plank on
guardrails.

12
O. Power lines near scaffolds are
dangerous. Use extreme caution
and consult the electrical
company to have the lines de-
energized and insulated to ensure
safety. Never allow any
installation or use of scaffolds
until this is completed.
P. When any cantilevers
are used, such as
brackets, etc, proper care
and precautions must be
taken to prevent tipping
of the scaffold.

Identifying parts of a
wooden scaffolding
Parts of a Portable
Scaffolding:
✗ Outrigger is a part of scaffold that holds the
platforms.
✗ Uprights or Posts are used to support the structure.
✗ Platforms are raised floors used to step on by
workers while working.
✗ Diagonal Braces are used to prevent lateral
movements of the scaffold.
✗ Cleats are fixed to support outriggers.
✗ Horizontal Support is a part that holds the lower
portion of the legs or the upright support of the
scaffolding.
15
Safety Rules in the Construction of Wooden
Scaffolding
✗ Use strong lumber for the scaffolding. Never use decayed lumber or lumber with
knots, wind shakes, and splinters because they easily break.
✗ • Properly brace the uprights of the scaffolding to prevent lateral movement.
✗ • Nail all the platforms to their supports. If the platforms are not nailed, they may
slip or tip off.
✗ • Place enough support for the platform.
✗ • Avoid long protruding platforms beyond the supports. If they can’t be avoided,
place another support at the end. Unsupported overhanging platforms may break or
tip off when stepped upon.
✗ • Properly secure the supports of the bracket and cantilever scaffolds.

16
Hints in the Construction of Wooden Scaffolds
✗ 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. 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 platform should be at a convenient height so that the workers on the
platform do not have to stoop or stand on their toes while doing the job.
✗ The platforms should be at level, unless the particular job requires a
sloping platform.

INTRODUCTION
This chapter covers Metal
scaffoldings and their types. That
will help the students to learn about
metal scaffoldings and how to
assemble and disassemble this type
of scaffolding.

METAL SCAFFOLDS
Metal Scaffolds are temporary structures
outside of a building, that are made of metal
poles with planks used by workers while
constructing, repairing, or cleaning the building.

Types of Metal
Scaffolds
6.5’ Walk through
Scaffolding Frame
This 6.5’ high, 5’ wide, open type,
walk through scaffolding end frame
can be used as a sidewalk canopy or
to straddle objects. This scaffold
frame comes with two locked-in
stack pins. This frame requires the
CB70 cross brace, and has a durable
powder coat finish.

23
Masonry walk through
ladder frame
Masonry walk through ladder frame
is 6.5’ high, 5’ wide, and can be used
as a sidewalk canopy or to straddle
objects. This frame is constructed
with a climbing ladder on one side.
This frame comes with two locked-
in stacking pins.

frame-5’ high
A standard 5’ by 5’ single ladder can
also be a masonry scaffolding end
frame. This scaffold frame comes
with two locked-in stack pins. This
frame requires the CB70 cross brace,
and has a durable powder coat
finish.

SAFETY RULES WHEN USING
A MOBILE SCAFFOLDS
1. Never ride a moving mobile scaffold.
2. Remove all materials and equipment from
the scaffold before moving.
3. Lock castor and outrigger brakes when
scaffold is not being moved.
4. Do not attempt to move mobile scaffold
without sufficient
help, and roll on even surfaces only. Watch
out for any untoward

35
5. The maximum platform height of a mobile scaffold must not be exceeded. All
Occupational Health and Safety laws must be complied with when using a mobile
scaffold.
6. Move the scaffold using the bottom frame. Never attempt to move the scaffold from
the top.
7. If mobile scaffolds are used outdoors, extra care must be taken to assure that they
become stable against winds or other dangerous conditions.

Caution: Do not overload scaffold. Do not exceed the

scaffold load capacity
