ERECTION GUIDELINES FOR RINGLOCK SCAFFOLD

RECOMMENDATIONS

PRIOR TO ERECTING RINGLOCK THE FOLLOWING IS RECOMMENDED:
1. The job site should be inspected to ensure that
the ground or other supporting structure is
strong enough to safely support the self-weight
of the scaffold and the imposed loads on the
platforms. In addition, please make yourself
aware of the proximity of power lines, overhead
obstructions and weather conditions. These
could pose a possible danger during the erection,
use and dismantling of Ringlock and should
be evaluated and adequately addressed in
accordance with the requirements for provision
of Risk Assessments and Method Statements.

2. Check the condition of the building façade at the
proposed tie locations.

3. The spacing of the Standards should be in accordance with the relevant layouts,
if available.

4. If design drawings of the scaffold are required, check the requirements of the
local authority with respect to what must be shown on the drawings (load rating,
erection/dismantling instructions etc.)

5. All equipment should be inspected prior to use to ensure that it is in good condition
and is serviceable. Damaged or deteriorated equipment must not be used.

6. Avoid storing or handling scaffold components below or close to electrical power
lines. Check the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction for the exclusions
zones.
7. Care must be taken when scaffolding work is in close proximity to exposed and
insulated electrical lines and hidden electrical cables (for example, cable concealed
behind a surface where a scaffold anchor is to be fitted).

8. Be aware of all Client and work related site safety procedures as well as reference to
local/ regional and legislation.

9. Be aware of possible dangers regarding explosions or fire.

10.Ensure that the scaffolders are trained and fully instructed to erect Ringlock system
scaffolding.

11.Check the safety and function of all the tools that are used during erection.
