Risk Assessment: Electromechanical Erection
Workers Affected by Works Hazards
PREVENTIVE MEASURES
Rules for acting
(2) Scaffolding is to be inspected:
- Before being put into service.
- Periodically.
- After modifications, periods when not in use, exposure to the elements or other circumstances that may have managed to affect its strength or stability.
(3) When erection is carried and supervised by ISASTUR Group personnel, the supervisor of said erection must be qualified in accordance with the stipulations of procedure PC0713: Â Qualifying workers for work involving a special hazard.
- The support elements of scaffolding are to be protected against slipping, including mobile scaffolding. The stability of scaffolding must be ensured.
- Scaffolding platforms are to be appropriate for the job to be done and the load to support and are to allow personnel to work and circulate safely.
- When any part of the scaffolding is not ready for use, it is to be conveniently signposted and demarcated using physical elements that impede access to said hazard zone.
- Scaffolding is to be planned, erected and suitably maintained so as to avoid its accidental collapse or displacement. To this end, all scaffolding must be calculated in one of the following ways:
- SIMPLE scaffolding: a Scaffolding Calculation Note is available that has been chosen in accordance with the setup to use (manufacturer, provider or supplier) and/or erection is to be carried out according to a generally recognised standard setup.
- COMPLEX scaffolding: its erection and dismantling is to be carried out according to the Specific Erection Plan drawn up to this effect (corresponding TI).
(4) Scaffolding is only to be erected by personnel specifically qualified to do so.
