21 Basic Rules of Scaffolding - Complete Guidelines on OSHA Scaffolding Safety Requirements

Complete Guideline on OSHA Scaffolding Safety Requirements

Scaffolding Safety Requirements - With all of these safety practices in places, working on a scaffold can be a high without the dangerous lows. 
OSHA Scaffolding Safety Requirements

21 Basic Rules of Scaffolding - Complete Guidelines on OSHA Scaffolding Safety Requirements.

  • Follow the manufacturer instruction when a erecting the scaffold.
  • Do not work on scaffold outside during strong or windy weather.
  • Do not climb on skype old that wobble or lean to one side.
  • Initially inspect the scaffold prior or mounting it. Do not use a scaffold if any pulley, block, hook or fitting is visible worn, cracked, rusted, or otherwise damaged.
  • Do not use any scaffold if any rope is frayed, torn or visibly damaged.
  • Do not use any scaffold tagged "Out of Service".
  • Do not use unstable objects such as barrel's, boxes, loose brick or concrete block to support scaffold or planks. 
  • Donot work on platform or scaffold unless they are fully planked.
  • Do not use a scaffold unless guardrail and all flooring are in place.
  • Level the scaffold after each move. Do not extend adjusting legs screws more than 12 inches.
OSHA Scaffolding Safety Requirements
  • Do not walk or work beneath a scaffold unless a wire mesh has been installed between the mid-rail and the toe-board or planking.
  • Use your safety belts and lanyards when working on scaffolding at a height of 10 feet or more above ground level. Attach the landyard to a secure member of the scaffold.
  • Do not climb the cross braces for access to the scaffold. Use the ladder.
  • Do not jump from, to, or between scaffold.
  • Do not slide down cables, ropes or guys used for bracing.
  • Keep both feet on the decking. Do not sit or climb on the guardrails.
  • Do not lean out from the scaffold. Do not rock the scaffold.
  • Keep the scaffold free of scraps, loose tools, tangled lines and other obstruction.
  • Do not throw anything"overboard" unless a spotter is available. Use the debris chutes or lower things by hoist or by hand.
  • Do not move a mobile scaffold if anyone is on the scaffold.
  • Chock the wheels of the rolling scaffold, using the wheels blocks, and also lock the wheels by using your foot to depress the wheel-lock, before using the scaffold.

(NRV) Non-Return Valves | Check Valves - Symbol, Types and Importance

(NRV) Non Return Valve A Non- Return Valves , check valve , clack valve, non- return valves , reflux valve, retention valve or one-way valve is a  valve that normally allows  fluid  ( liquid or gas ) to flow through it in one direction only.    Non  - Return valve/ Check valve are two-port valves, meaning that they have two openings in the body, one to enter the  fluid and the other to release the liquid. Types of (NRV) Non - Return Valves There are various types of check valves/non-return valve used in a wide variety of applications.  Non- return valves are often part of common household items.   Although they are available in a wide range of sizes and costs, Non - Return valve are generally very small, simple or inexpensive. Non - Return valve operate automatically and most are not controlled by an individual or any external control;  Accordingly, most have no valve handle or stem. The bodies (outer shells...

(RFRL) Rainforced Rubber Line - EngineeriSafety

(RFRL)  Rainforced Rubber Line    RFRL Rainforced Rubber Line -   Reinforced rubber  products are the largest group of composite materials , though they are rarely referred to as composite materials.  Examples familiar are automobile tyres , hoses and conveyor belts . Composite Rainforced Structure   Reinforced rubber  products combine a  rubber matrix and a reinforced material, so that the strength of elasticity to high strength is achieved.  Reinforcing material, usually a type of fibre , provides strength and stiffness.  The rubber matrix, with reduced strength and stiffness, provides air-liquid tightness and supports refreshing materials to maintain their respective positions.  These positions are important because they in turn affect the mechanical properties.      A composite structure where all fibers are everywhere loaded at the same pressure is called an isotropic structure, and the type of ...

What are the Methods of Extinguishing Fire | Methods of Extinction and prevention

Method of Extension and Prevention: Fire depends upon a reaction between two substance and continuous because of self generated heat. There are four ways of Extinguishing fire i.e., by cooling the fuel below its ignition temperature. By cutting  off the oxygen, by cutting off the supply of fuel or by prohibiting the formation of chain carriers. This is achieved by  -  Taking away the heat faster heat it is generated. Separating the substance apart. Cooling the combustible material and its surrounding to a temperature search that fire die for want to heat. Smoothing the fire by preventing air from reaching eat or by diluting air with some inert gas ( smothering ). Starving the fire by removing combustible material fuel supply. What are the Methods of Fire Extinguishing: COOLING METHOD: Extinction by cooling is achieve, when the rate of heat generated is less than the rate the heat remove, hence the fire die water is...
