Lesson 3:  Read and interpret drawings, client requirements and other specifications

  • Details and dimensions of access scaffold design are interpreted in relation to the drawings, specifications and according to client requirements

  • Access scaffolding equipment is identified and applied according to drawings, specifications and/or client requirements

  • Safe working loads on platforms and total loading on uprights are calculated in relation to the drawings, specifications and/or client requirements

       

Lesson 4:  Inspect and handover access scaffolding

  • Access scaffolding works are inspected for compliance with drawings, specifications and/or client requirements and cross-referenced to SANS 10085

  • Modified access scaffolding systems are re-inspected in accordance with safety legislation requirements and SANS 10085

  • Access Scaffolding Register and Handover Certificate are completed after inspection and re-inspection, issued and signed off in accordance with safety legislation requirements and SANS 10085

  • Engineers Certificates/Reports are obtained when required for special design scaffold in accordance with safety legislation and SANS 10085.
