APPENDIX B: SUSPENDEDSCAFFOLD REGISTER ANDNOTES ON SUSPENDEDSCAFFOLDING(1) A suspended scaffold register must be kept on site and be available forinspection, for all suspended scaffolding, boatswain’s chairs, swinging stages,etc.(2) When complete, the suspended scaffold register should record:(a)(b)(c)Project name, address, or other clear identification;The location of the scaffold with respect to site coordinates or thelocation at the building or structure, so that the scaffolding can beclearly located;Miscellaneous details of the scaffold, (see sample suspended scaffoldregister);(d) A record of each inspection carried out.(3) The inspections must be carried out at the following intervals:(a)(b)(c)(d)Before the scaffold is first used;On each day while the scaffold is in use;After each structural alteration or change to the nature of theanchorage;Monthly while the scaffold is set up but not in use;(e) After any storm or occurrence that could adversely affect the safety ofthe suspended scaffold.(4) The inspection must be carried out by either:(a)A certificated scaffolder of the appropriate class (e.g. suspendedscaffold); or(b) A competent person such as a registered engineer.(5) The entries of each inspection in the suspended scaffold register must bemade and signed by the person who carried out the inspection.66 SAFE ERECTION AND USE OF SCAFFOLDING
LIVE LOAD (I.E. PERSONS, TOOLS, MATERIALS)Unless designed by a competent person such as a registered engineer, thefollowing limitations apply:(a)(b)(c)(d)(e)For a swinging stage raised by hand haulage on fibre ropes, themaximum live load is the difference between 360 kg and the deadweight of the stage including falls and blocks, with the maximumnumber of persons not exceeding three.For a swinging stage operated mechanically with two points of overheadsuspension, the maximum live load is the difference between 560 kg andthe dead weight of the stage including hoisting gear, with the maximumnumber of persons not exceeding three.For a boatswain’s chair, the maximum live load is 115 kg.For a suspended chair operated mechanically with single supports, themaximum live load is limited to 160 kg or a maximum of two persons.For multi-point suspended platforms, the maximum live load is limited to240 kg or a maximum of three persons per section of platform betweensuspension points.COUNTERWEIGHTING OF OUTRIGGERSWhere an outrigger is stabilised by counterweights, the factor of safety againstoverturning must be at least 3. To determine the counterweight required, thetable below may be used; alternatively the counterweight may be calculated (seealso 8.3.3) using the formula below.
