Erection Guidelines
Recommendations
Prior to Erecting Ringlock the following is recom-
mended:
▪
The job site should be inspected to ensure that the
ground or other supporting structure is strong
enough to safely support the self-weight of the scaf-
fold and the imposed loads on the platforms. In addi-
tion, please make yourself aware of the proximity of
power lines, overhead obstructions and weather
conditions. These could pose a possible danger dur-
ing the erection, use and dismantling of Ringlock and
should be evaluated and adequately addressed in
accordance with the requirements for provision of
Risk Assessments and Method Statements.
▪
Check the condition of the building façade at the pro-
posed tie locations.
▪
The spacing of the Standards should be in accord-
ance with the relevant layouts, if available.
▪
If design drawings of the scaffold are required, check
the requirements of the local authority with respect to
what must be shown on the drawings (load rating,
erection/dismantling instructions etc.).
▪
All equipment should be inspected prior to use to
ensure that it is in good condition and is serviceable.
Damaged or deteriorated equipment must not be
used.
▪
Avoid storing or handling scaffold components below
or close to electrical power lines. Check the require-
ments of the authority having jurisdiction for the
exclusions zones.
▪
Care must be taken when scaffolding work is in close
proximity to exposed and insulated electrical lines
and hidden electrical cables (for example, cable con-
cealed behind a surface where a scaffold anchor is
to be fitted).
▪
Be aware of all Client and work related site safety
procedures as well as reference to local/regional and
National legislation.
▪
Be aware of possible dangers regarding explosions
or fire.
▪
Ensure that the scaffolders are trained and fully
instructed to erect Ringlock system scaffolding.
▪
Check the safety and function of all the tools that are
used during erection.
