Undertaking Works.
-
*Upon arrival to site the vehicle will be parked safely in an area agreed with the client. The RAMS document must be read, understood and signed by all operatives.
-
*Operatives will put on the necessary PPE listed in this document, Carry out and document the necessary PPE checks, gather all the relevant paperwork and head to the site office to undergo a site induction.
-
*After the completed induction you will head to the working area to check for unforeseen hazards and determine if this document is relevant to the works taking place. Use this document to list additional hazards and obstacles to undergo further assessment.
-
*In line with your manual handling training, materials needed for the task may be transited to the working area stacking them safely away from harm.
-
*Setting out of the scaffold can begin inline with your NASC TG20-21 training and technical guidance.
-
*Once set out of the scaffold is complete and there is a need to work at height, guidance from NASC SG4-22 will be used. This includes single handrails fitted to non working lifts, advanced handrail steps and practice of the scaffolders safe zone.
-
*Scaffold materials are to be passed up, pulled up via a gin wheel or loaded and taken up in a hoist.
-
*Scaffold materials that are not fixed immediately must be stacked safely where there is no risk of fall.
-
*Upon completion of the scaffold it must be inspected and documented by a competent person where if deemed safe can go on to be handed over to the client.
-
*Dismantle of the scaffold will be carried out in reverse by segregating a safe zone to stack materials. Scaffold fittings will be undone and tubes will be removed and stacked safely before passing them or roping them down. Upon completion one last check around the area of scaffold will be carried out to ensure all materials have been cleared from site.
Specific task methods used to complete the scaffold erection and dismantle.
-
Scaffold materials will be walked to the area of work and erected at the same time by qualified scaffolders. The scaffolding will be erected as per this document as well as instruction from the supervisor.
-
Scaffolding lift heights and working platforms will be discussed on site with the client to ensure it is built fit for purpose avoiding any upset or delay to the planning of works.

A Guide For Users Of The Scaffold
-
Users of the scaffold hold the responsibility of ensuring it is used for its intended purpose and keep within its loading limitations.
-
Users must carry out their own visual inspection prior to use to ensure it is safe to work upon.
-
Any modifications to the scaffold must be carried out by Fleet Scaffolding only.
-
The hirer of the scaffold has a legal duty to ensure the scaffold is inspected with supporting documentation every 7 days from handover from Fleet Scaffolding.
-
Any quires or issues with the scaffold should be reported to Fleet Scaffolding immediately.
Ensuring The Site Is Safe For Scaffold Works.
-
When scaffold works begin it is the site managers duty to ensure the safety of other trades. The working area should be segregated from other trades to ensure their safety and avoid disruption.
-
Ground for the scaffold to be placed upon should be flat and free from obstruction, it is also the clients responsibility to ensure the ground or base is suitable for the weight that is to be placed upon it.
-
Prior to proceeding, adapting or dismantling any scaffold the area must be free from debris, rubbish or excess materials. Failure to do this will result is additional waiting time.
-
Ensure all services within close proximity of the scaffolding are isolated or covered correctly to avoid risk of injury of damage.
Working at height
-
All working at height tasks will be carried out by competent persons inline with their training and strict supervision. Booklets are made accessible showing technical and safe guidance to carry out the task correctly.
Scaffold Ties
-
Most of the time it is necessary to tie the scaffold to the building. This is done by drilling into the substrate to install fixings or plugs. Sometimes the substrate can blow causing damage to the face of the brick. Fleet Scaffolding will do their best to avoid excessive damage to the substrate but sometimes this cannot be helped and we take no responsibility for blown substrates.
Equipment To Be Used And Conformity Requirements
-
All scaffold materials are visually inspected prior to being sent to site and again before being used on site to ensure they are fit for purpose. All scaffold materials used meet the current standards e.g. Scaffold tube EN39 Type 4, Scaffold Fittings BN EN 131 and scaffold boards BS2482.
Delivery And Collection To Site.
-
Materials are delivered and collected to site via a flatbed vehicle. Scaffold materials are loaded and unloaded from this vehicle and materials that are to be stacked and stored on site are agreed beforehand with the site manager.
Risk Assessment.
-
Use The Risk Matrix To Determine Outcome
Hazard
-
Hazard - Working At Height
-
Risk - Falling from height, Falling materials from height
-
Control Measures - Only competently trained persons to undertake working at height. NASC SG422 Safe Guidance (Advanced handrail steps, Scaffolder safe zone & single handrails installed on non working lifts). Use collective protective measures over personnel protective measures. Suitable scaffold harness and lanyard to be worn.
