Procedure for use of Zarges ZAP scaffold (Revision 0 – 5 th April 2011) Toolbox talk

HAZARDS AND RISKS Falls from height and falling objects Overturning the scaffold Scaffold collapse Trapping hands in components Contact with live electrical conductors

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT REQUIRED Hardhat (to be worn by those assembling and dismantling the scaffold and anyone working below the scaffold when in use). Gloves (to be worn by those assembling and dismantling the scaffold). Steel toe caped safety boots (to be worn by those assembling and dismantling the scaffold).

ASSEMBLING AND DISMANTLING THE SCAFFOLD The following video shows how to assemble the scaffold (Note: although the video shows one person assembling the scaffold, the instruction manual clearly states that two people should carry out this task). and-Sherpascopic-Work-Platforms/ZAP-Scaffold

ASSEMBLING AND DISMANTLING THE SCAFFOLD (continued) At least two people required to assemble/dismantle scaffold. The scaffold must be located on a firm, level surface. Apply the brake lever on the swivel castors to prevent the scaffold rolling away during assembly and when being taken down. Do not climb on the work platform during assembly or when taking it down– it will not be stable until fully assembled. There is a danger of crushing hands and arms when adjusting the height of the work platform. Keep hands and feet clear of the possible danger zones. Use a spirit level to check that the scaffold is upright and level.

PRE-USE CHECKS Chassis with swivel castors and stabilisers - stabilisers correctly attached, brake levers on the swivel castors secured and the swivel castors clear of the ground. Push-up ladders Struts (folding struts, horizontal struts and railings) Platform flap (correct functioning) 

PRE-USE CHECKS (continued) Both railings attached and locked in place When working outdoors – are there 3 ballast weights fitted on each stabiliser? Ensure that the gravity controlled drop hooks are fully engaged 

USE OF SCAFFOLD Cordon off the area around the scaffold if it is in an area where there are pedestrians below. Do not exceed the maximum permissible load (300kg for Zarges ZAP scaffold) The scaffold is designed to be used as a working platform (i.e. for people and tools). It is not designed for loading with heavy equipment. It should also be noted that any sheet materials taken onto the platform can act as a sail in windy conditions making the platform unstable. Distribute loads evenly on the platform Always climb onto the work platform from the inside. Never climb onto the railings. Never exceed the platform height by using ladders, boxes or other devices. 

USE OF SCAFFOLD (continued) Never throw materials or tools from the platform always pass them down to another person. As the scaffold is made from a conductive material, it must not be used near any overhead power cables. The scaffold must not be used near any live conductors where there is risk of contact with the live conductor. Use battery operated equipment wherever possible, do not use 240V equipment. The scaffold should not be left unattended for long periods (e.g. overnight) in areas which are not secure. Do not use the scaffold in windy conditions. The scaffold must not be used as a means of access to other structures (i.e. do not climb off of the top of the scaffold onto anything else). The scaffold should not be left unattended for long periods (e.g. overnight) in areas which are not secure.

MOVING THE SCAFFOLD Do not move the scaffold with the push-up ladders extended. Always fully lower these ladders before moving the scaffold. Never move the scaffold with people, tools or materials on it. Always move the platform lengthwise or diagonally to ensure maximum stability.
