3. Safety instructions (T1.1 - T1.13)
1.
It is important to determine the required working height in advance and to select the correct rolling tower/rolling tower
configuration for this.
2.
The location of the rolling tower must be checked to prevent accidents during assembly, dismantling and moving with respect to:
•
A horizontal, flat and solid base;
•
The location must be free of obstacles;
•
Weather and wind conditions
•
Electricity cables (above ground)
3.
The scaffold must not be out of the perpendicular in excess of 1%. So at a height of 4 meters, the deflection can be max. 4 cm.
Check this with a spirit level.
4.
The use of hoisting gear on or attached to the scaffold is not permitted; this can seriously affect the stability of the tower.
Scaffold parts, tools and materials may only be brought up and down (to and from the work floor) manually using a rope .
5.
Check all parts for damage. Damaged or incorrect parts may not be used.
6.
Only original supplier's parts, as described in this manual, may be used. The mixing of scaffolding components of different
brands/ manufacturers is not permitted because no strength and stability calculation has been carried out on the r elevant mix
configuration.
7.
Never make constructive adjustments to the scaffolding.
8.
The standard configurations in this manual are not calculated on the use of tarpaulins and/or advertising boards.
9.
Never leave the rolling tower unsupervised. If the rolling tower must be left unsupervised, you have to make sure that
unauthorized individuals cannot access it. Anchor the tower with 2 anchorage tubes if there is a change that wind speed might
exceed 4 Beaufort during the unsupervised period of time.
10.
Particular attention should be paid to using scaffolds when there is wind:
•
Maximum wind load: see chapter 2
•
Take gusts of wind into account
•
Take wind-sensitive areas into account, e.g. near open constructions/structures and at the corner of a building If the above
cannot be guaranteed, the scaffolding must be moved to a wind-free location or dismantled.
11.
Lateral loads exceeding 30 kg resulting from work activities on the scaffold are not permitted. In the event of significantly larger
forces, the scaffold should be anchored to the façade at 2 points every 4 meters. Each anchor point should be able to resist a
load of 120 kg.
12.
Never access the tower on the outside and never stand on the braces.
13.
Triangle stabilizers and ballast must always be attached according to the configuration & ballast table.
14.
The hoisting, hanging or lifting of the scaffold is not authorized.
15.
It is not permitted to increase the height of a platform e.g. with ladders, stepladders, boxes or any other object.
16.
Scaffolding in accordance with EN1004-1 is not designed for use as an anchor point for personal fall protection.
17.
Scaffolding in accordance with EN1004-1 is not designed for use as an access or exit to other structures or buildings.
18.
Scaffolding in accordance with EN1004-1 is not designed for use as roof edge protection.
19.
The distance between 2 platforms is not more than 2.25 m. An exception is the distance to the first platform with 3.40 m.
20.
Electrical danger. Assess all electrical hazards in the work area, such as conduits and other electrical equipment. Do not use the
scaffolding where there is an electrical hazard.
21.
Note that only one platform level may be used as a working platform. This platform must be equipped with a hip rest, knee
rest and toe board.
22.
Do not use the scaffolding if it is contaminated with, for example, paint, mud, oil, chemicals or snow.
23.
Do not use the scaffolding if you are not fit enough. Certain medical conditions or medication, alcohol and drug use may make
it unsafe to use the scaffolding.
