NASC Publishes Scaffolding & Hoists Safety Guidance

摘要

With the endorsement and support of the UK Contractors Group (UKCG) and the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), the 32-page guidance is a completely updated version of the document first published in May 2005. It provides guidance for scaffolders on the planning and safe use of construction hoists, including transport platforms, used for moving scaffolding materials during the erection and dismantling of scaffolding. SG26:14 looks in detail at the working hazards associated with hoists used for transporting scaffolding, the planning, operation and installation of Temporary Scaffolding Transportation Systems (TSTS), loading, transportation and unloading of scaffolding materials, training in the use of hoists and TSTS, and contains illustrations showing examples of bad loading practice, suitable stacking methods, hoist characteristics and risk management.
