Inspecting Multi-Level Suspended Scaffolds
A multi-level suspended scaffold is a two-point or multiple-point adjustable suspension scaffold with a series of platforms at various levels supported by common stirrups.
- Make sure multi-level suspended scaffolds are equipped with additional independent support lines:
- equal in number to the number of points supported
- equal in strength to the suspension ropes
- rigged to support the scaffold if the suspension ropes fail
- Ensure support lines and suspension ropes are not anchored to the same points.
- Check to make sure supports for platforms are attached directly to support stirrups—not to other platforms.
