Page 4 of 6
5 Policy: 1. Supervisors shall provide equipment-specific training and education about fall protection for employees required to use scaffolds and powered elevating work platforms. 2. Only trained and authorized employees shall operate powered elevating work platforms. 3. Employees shall evaluate their requirements for safe access to work assignments and shall consult supervisory personnel about the use of scaffolds and powered elevating work platforms. 4. Scaffolds and powered elevating work platforms shall be inspected for safety before use. 5. The proposed use of scaffolds exceeding 10 metres in height and the proposed use of suspended scaffolds shall be reported to Environmental Health and Safety in advance of the construction project or work assignment. 6. The erection, alteration, and dismantling of scaffolds shall be carried out under the direct supervision of a competent person. Before scaffolding is erected, inspections shall be performed for satisfactory ground conditions, overhead electrical wires and obstructions, secure tie-ins and outrigger stabilizers, and to assess the potential for wind loading. 7. Fall protection shall be provided and used when scaffolding is being erected and dismantled. Workers on scaffolds more than one tier in height, that have no guardrails, shall tie off with safety harness and shock-absorbing lanyards to secure anchor points. 8. Special purpose ladders and work platforms shall be used in accordance with the manufacturer s directions and only for the applications intended. 9. Employees working on elevated work platforms shall wear securely anchored fall protection and other personal protective equipment appropriate for the job. 10. Preventative maintenance programs shall be established in accordance with the manufacturer s recommendations for all University-owned powered elevating work platforms. Permanent records shall be retained concerning all inspections, tests, service, repairs, and modifications. (Consult the Manager of the University s Transportation Services for assistance.) Page 5 of 6
6 Guidelines: Fixed scaffolds, suspended scaffolds, and powered elevating work platforms are used when work must be performed at elevations. Training and competency testing must be equipment-specific for all users and operators. Scaffolds must be equipped with a guardrail consisting of a top rail, mid-rail, and toe board at least 12.5 cm high. The ratio of unsupported height to least lateral dimension (i.e. the shortest dimension at the base) should not exceed three-to-one unless the scaffold has additional stabilizing supports (e.g. tie-ins to a permanent structure, outrigger stabilizers, or anchored guy wires). Scaffolds that exceed the three-to-one rule must be tied into a building or structure at intervals not exceeding three times the least lateral dimension of the scaffold. This means tie-ins are applied at every third frame vertically and every second frame horizontally. Tie-ins must be capable of sustaining tension (pull) and compression (push) lateral loads. Scaffolds must be erected plumb to ensure maximum structural capacity. The CSA standard on access scaffolding allows a maximum variation from plumb of 12 mm per 3 meters in height, to a maximum of 38 mm over the maximum height of the scaffold. When scaffold heights exceed 15 metres (ten metres for a tube and clamp system), the site specific scaffolding system must be professionally engineered. The scaffold must be inspected by a professional engineer and a competent worker before it is used. Suspended scaffolds that consist of more than one platform or weigh more than 525 kg must, before they can be used, be designed by a professional engineer, erected according to the design, inspected by that engineer, and approved in writing by that engineer. For further information about scaffolds, suspended scaffolds, and powered elevating work platforms, see the Construction Health and Safety Manual published by the Construction Safety Association of Ontario, ISBN Fall protection is mandatory for persons working from powered elevating work platforms. A fall hazard can arise from over-reaching, bucket failure, boom failure, or ejection if the aerial lift is bumped or collides with an obstruction. For further information about fall protection, see Safety Policy Page 6 of 6
