Study Notes
Scaffold Designation and Requirements
- Workers qualified to design scaffolds are referred to as designers.
- Guardrails or a Personal Fall Arrest System are mandatory for scaffolding that exceeds ten feet in height.
Scaffold Types and Safety Features
- Self-retracting lifelines are safety devices encased in protective housing, extending and retracting automatically to enhance mobility and decrease tripping hazards.
- Specialty scaffolds include examples such as plasterers' scaffolds, horse scaffolds, and window jack scaffolds.
Scaffold Heights and Configurations

- An interior hung scaffold is classified as a suspended type of scaffolding.
Mobile Scaffold Safety Protocols
- All stipulated conditions must be satisfied before a mobile scaffold can be moved while workers are on it.
- A mid rail should be installed halfway between the top of the guardrail and the work surface for safety compliance.
Access and Anchorage
- A suspension scaffold utilizing a two-point swing-stage anchorage is ideally accessed from the roof.
