Scaffolding and temporary works Concept RISK
RISK = RATE X Magnitude
• Identification; • Evaluation; • Prevention Measures; • Procedures for Implemen
tation.
Scaffolding and temporary works
Main causes of risk on Scaffolding
• Workplace subject to constant changes; • Small Business poorly equipped and il
l-informed; • Interference yard + subcontractors that badly interfere with each
other risky • Nature of work • The limited duration of some activities makes one
rous security and the necessary protection.

D.P.I. - Harnesses
• a) Risk of falling from predominantly b) Risk subsequent to the fall:
"Pendulum effect" oscillation of the body colliding with obstacles and inertia,
stress-body dall'imbracatura; inert suspension of a worker who is attached to th
e IPR
D.P.I. New Technical Solutions
Introduction of new prefabricated components, eliminating the risk of falling fr
om above, allow to eliminate its IPR
Characteristics of Resistance Article 35 DPR 164
• Base metal suitable surface and a thickness sufficient to withstand the load w
ithout deformation; • adequately braced in longitudinal and transverse;€• All br
acing must resist tension and compression; • Joints with resistance greater than
or equal to that of the rods that are connected; • A tight coupling, the two ja
ws to be in contact on the side of the bolt.
The departure on the ground is essential is to treat the goodness of the support
and distribution of loads on flat surfaces increased, the load reaches the grou
nd that the 1500-2000kg table may not always hold if not well positioned
The support of the board is completely missing: the entire load of the scaffoldi
ng is entrusted to the table below is the void
Good standard rules for the support of Scaffolding
• Check the efficiency of the first shelf; • If the ground is not perfectly flat
or level it should adjust the height of whiskers; • If the soil is unable to re
sist it must interpose evidence to disperse the ground pressure; • If soil is in
terposed between the board and tables, plates etc.. is necessary to lash; • Do n
ot stand directly on the asphalt sideburns • Check the positioning of the whiske
rs as the project manual or PIMUS.

ANCHORS
• Anchor the facade scaffolding;
- Must be consistent with what is written in the booklet and PIMUS - an essentia
l element of strength and stability
• Anchor the facade of PPE or scaffolding
- They have a function independent of the anchors of the scaffolding
Anchor Scaffolding
UNI EN 795 calssificazione anchors A1 A2 BCDE
Anchor for concrete structures for surfaces, vertical and horizontal tilt for sl
oped roofs Tentative Structural transportable bar contrast flexible horizontal R
ail Line insurance insurance rigid body horizontal surface horizontal plate with
dead eye sling, tripod Lifeline in wire rope cart track with Block with eye
The compatibility of the support structure must be checked for each case
Anchor Scaffolding
• Anchor any kind should be performed in a workmanlike manner; • The number of a
nchors must meet at least what is written in the booklet; • The law establishes
an anchor at least every two decks and every 2 uprights; • When necessary, it mu
st be checked and strength of the support structure by calculation; • If there a
re no known resistance characteristics, it is necessary to perform static and dy
namic strength tests on samples;
Anchor Scaffolding
• The connection between the elements constituting a system of anchors and ancho
r point must be made connectors conform to UNI EN 362 and UNI EN 12275-Q; • Even
the anchors must be made in order as required by step assembly and disassembly
; • There must be an increase in the number of anchors for use in special situat
ions: - Covers - Banners - Gravel guard - hoists • Validity of the points above,
both the anchors of the scaffolding and for those of IPR
EXAMPLES OF ANCHORS FOR SCAFFOLDING
ANCHORAGE A TIE
ANCHOR RING
ANCHORING PLUG
ANCHORS OF PPE
• The use of scaffolding as support for the anchor line to be carefully consider
ed, vertical and horizontal stress during the fall of one or more operators, can
damage the anchors, the anchor line should always be already installed when the
worker landing at the top level; When using a horizontal flexible anchor line f
or connecting the PPE, it shall be composed of a "tightrope" Pay attention to wi
thstand stress from the heat sink of energy.
