NOTES ON SAFE USE OF RINGLOCK STAIR TOWERS

• Before operatives can be allowed to use a Stair Tower, make sure that the Stair Tower
has been erected properly in accordance with the following guidelines and that it
complies with the demands of the user.

• Make sure that all people who are allowed access to the Stair Tower are aware of its
function and the maximum allowable loads.

• The users of the stairs need to be aware that any changes to the scaffold must
be properly engineered and erected in accordance with MKRS and the Building
Regulations for landings and stair arrangements etc.

• It is recommended that routine checks form part of your everyday procedures to
ensure that components have not been removed or have been incorrectly assembled
after they had been removed.

• Use adequate signs and barriers to prevent people from entering incomplete Stair
Towers.

• Make sure that each scaffold platform has safe entrances and exits, and that these
entrances and exits are kept clear.

• Please note that because of Building Regulations requirements the Stair Tower is not
suitable for Public access.
