3. Safety instructions

3.1 Applicable regulations

The regulations of EN 1004 apply to the erection, dismantling, stability and use of the

working scaffold.

– Use of the scaffold as a climbing aid (ladder) to access other scaffolds.

– Attachment and use of lifting gear attached to the scaffold.

3.2 Safety regulations for erection and use

– The scaffold may only be erected, taken down and used by personnel who are fully

familiar with the content of this installation and user manual.

– At least two workers must work together to erect the scaffold.

– The scaffold may only be erected and used on level and firm surfaces that can carry

the weight of the scaffold.

– Use only original parts of the scaffold system that are undamaged and in proper

working order.

– Before using the scaffold, the castors must be blocked by pushing down the brake

lever and all scaffold components must be inspected for proper erection, assembly

and functionality.

– All work must be carried out by standing on a working platform.

– Jumping on the working platform is prohibited.

– Do not lean over the railings or use them to push off against.

– Do not use the scaffold at winds over strength 6 (~ 45 km/h). At wind speed over

strength 6, dismantle the scaffold, or move it to a sheltered location where it must

be secured against tipping. At wind of strength 6, there is a resistance when walking

against the wind.

– Platforms on which workers will be standing must be equipped with a three-sided

side guard consisting of rail braces, cross beams and circumferential board planks.

The inter-mediate boards used only for erection, taking down and conversion of the

scaffold and to access a higher board do not need to be equipped with platforms.

– After completion of the work, the mobile scaffold must be properly anchored and se-

cured against unauthorised use. Alternatively, dismantle the scaffold.

– If the mobile scaffold is used outside of buildings, secure it to a fixed structure, if this

is possible.

– Install stabilisers and ballasts, as well as outriggers and wall brackets as described

in this installation and user manual.

– Tools and materials must be carried up to the platform, and may not be hoisted with

lifting gear. Ensure that the maximum load capacity of the working platform is not
