What are the precautions to be taken during the use of scaffolding steel supports?

There are many things to pay attention to when using scaffolding steel supports, including load control, inspection and maintenance, safety protection, etc. The following are specific contents:

Strictly control the load

Clearly define the load-bearing capacity of the scaffold and strictly prohibit overloading during use.

. Construction materials, equipment, etc. should be evenly stacked to avoid excessive local loads

Strictly manage personnel and materials on the scaffold, limit the number of people working on the scaffold at the same time, and reduce the accumulation of unnecessary materials

Regular Inspection and Maintenance

Assign a dedicated person to regularly inspect the steel supports, checking for any deformation, cracks, rust, loose fasteners, and good connection nodes.

Timely provide attentive service or replacement for problems found during inspection, such as rust removal and painting treatment for slightly corroded steel pipes, and timely replacement of damaged fasteners and connecting components

After severe weather (such as strong wind, rainstorm, blizzard, etc.), the scaffold steel support shall be checked in many aspects, and can be used again after confirming that there is no potential safety hazard

Confirm that Anran protective measures are in place

Set up necessary protective facilities around the scaffolding, such as Anran nets, guardrails, etc., to prevent personnel and materials from falling.

The scaffold board should be fully and stably laid, without any probe boards, and it should be confirmed that the construction personnel are walking and working safely

Equip construction personnel with necessary personal protective equipment, such as safety helmets, safety belts, etc., and require them to wear and use them correctly

Standardize construction operations

When construction personnel work on scaffolding, they should follow relevant operating procedures and not engage in dangerous behaviors such as violent shaking and collision.

It is strictly prohibited to carry out open flame operations such as electrical and gas welding on scaffolding. If such operations are required, excellent fire prevention measures must be taken and approved by relevant departments

It is not allowed to dismantle the members and connectors of the scaffold at will. If dismantling is necessary for construction, a dismantling plan should be formulated in advance and restored in a timely manner after dismantling

Pay attention to coordination and cooperation with other types of work

When multiple types of work are working in the same area, coordination work should be done well to avoid mutual interference and prevent other types of work from damaging the steel support of the scaffold.

When carrying out exterior wall decoration, equipment installation and other operations, attention should be paid to protecting the steel supports of the scaffolding to avoid deformation or damage caused by collisions, pulling and other factors

Keep detailed records of the use of scaffolding steel supports, including usage time, load conditions, inspection and maintenance, problems encountered, and handling results.

Usage records help evaluate the safety of scaffolding and provide reference for subsequent maintenance and dismantling
