1 Ladder and Scaffold Safety Utilizing published Safety Minutes
2 SAFETY MINUTE Safety Minutes Safety Minutes are brief safety snap-shots covering a wide variety of safety subjects Utilize these to open a client or in-house meeting We ll be using three for this week s biweekly training
3 A Scaffold is an elevated, temporary work platform. There are three basic types: Supported scaffolds, Suspended scaffolds, and Other (Rolling, Mobile, & Arial lifts). Q: What are the capacity requirements for all scaffolds? A: Each scaffold and scaffold component must support without failure its own weight and at least 4 times the maximum intended load. Q: What are the requirements for work on platforms cluttered with debris? A: Do Not Work on platforms cluttered with debris. Q: Are guardrails required on all open sides of scaffolding? A: Guardrails must protect each employee on a scaffold more than 10 feet (3.1 m) above a lower level from falling to that lower level. Q: How wide does the work area need to be on scaffolding? A: Each scaffold platform and walkway must be at least 18 inches (46 cm) wide. suspended scaffolds? A: NO materials or devices may be used to increase the working height on a suspension scaffold. This includes ladders, boxes, and barrels! supported scaffolds? A: Stilts may be used on a large area scaffold. When a guardrail system is used, the guardrail height must be as high as the stilts. Q: What are the requirements for access to scaffolds? A: Access must be provided when the scaffold platforms are more than 2 feet (0.6 m) above or below a point of access. Q: What are the fall protection requirements for all scaffolds? A: Employers must provide fall protection for each employee on a scaffold more than 10 feet (3.1 m) above a lower level. Mangan requires use of fall protection at 6.

8 The following Case Report of a fall investigated by OSHA illustrates how seemingly innocent workplace activities can have deadly consequences: An employee was climbing a 10 foot ladder to access a landing which was 9 feet above the adjacent floor. The ladder slid down, and the employee fell to the floor, sustaining fatal injuries. Although the ladder had slip-resistant feet, it was not secured, and the railings did not extend 3 feet above the landing. To the eye, it doesn t look that dangerous. It has no sharp blades, or fastmoving parts. But the ladder is potentially a lethal piece of equipment. Remember, the main function of a ladder is to provide access it s not a work platform. Standing on a ladder for too long can be fatiguing. And the number of tools you can take with you is limited. SAFE USAGE & HANDLING: Self-supporting (foldout) and non-selfsupporting (leaning) - know the capacity of the ladder you intend to use Keep your hands free to climb the ladder Wear non-slip surface shoes with a small heel Don t splice short ladders together to provide long sections Ladders are not be used by more than one person at a time Ladders should not be placed in front of doors unless the door is locked, blocked, or guarded. Climb Safely! Tops of stepladders should not be used as steps SAFETY MINUTE Boulder - CO Alpharetta - GA Lake Jackson, Houston TX Hampton NH Cary NC Long Beach, Pleasant Hill, Westlake Village,- CA

12 LADDER SAFETY The Three Point of Contact Climb When climbing a ladder, it is safest to utilize Three Points-of-Contact because it minimizes the chances of slipping and falling from the ladder: At all times during ascent or descent, the climber must face the ladder and have two hands and one foot, or two feet and one hand in contact with the ladder cleats and/or side rails. In this way, the climber is not likely to become unstable in the event one limb slips during the climb. It is important to note that the climber must not carry any objects in either hand that can interfere with a firm grip on the ladder. Three Points-of-Contact with the ladder cannot be adequately maintained and the chance of falling is increased in the event a hand or foot slip occurs. Although the user s weight or size typically does not increase the likelihood of a fall, improper climbing posture creates user clumsiness and may cause falls. Reduce your chances of falling during the climb by: wearing slip resistant shoes with heals and heavy soles to prevent foot fatigue; cleaning the soles to maximize traction; using towlines, a tool belt or an assistant to convey materials so that the climbers hands are free when climbing; climbing slowly and deliberately while avoiding sudden movements; keeping the center of your belt buckle (stomach) between the ladder side rails (or within the width of the cleats) when climbing and while working. Do not overreach or lean while working so that you don t fall off the ladder sideways.
