Rev: Section 5 Ladders and Scaffolding

Rev: Learning Objectives: Section 5 Determine the proper ladder to use based on weight capacity and height. Calculate the proper pitch of extension ladders for proper set-up, and identify how to secure and stabilize ladders. Identify how to maintain a safe position when using a ladder. Identify safety requirements and practices for scaffolding, including aerial lifts.

Rev: Ladder Training Requirements Each employee using ladders should be trained to recognize hazards related to their use. This includes: Nature of the fall hazards in the work area Correct procedures for placement, use, and maintenance Maximum intended load-carrying capacities

Rev: Ladder or Scaffold?

Rev: Pick the Right Ladder Before stepping onto a ladder, think about these things: Duty rating of the ladder—what capacity can it hold? Height of the ladder—too short or too tall? Condition of the ladder and instructions unique to the ladder selected. We’ll look at each of these in detail.

Rev: Proper Duty Rating/Capacity OSHA Requirement Ladders shall not be loaded beyond the maximum intended load for which they were built nor beyond their manufacturer's rated capacity.

Rev: Proper Duty Rating/Capacity, cont. Select a ladder with the proper duty rating for your weight and the materials you are handling.

Rev: Think About It What do these materials weigh: A sheet of plywood A tool box with tools A bundle of shingles A 3 x 4 window Remember: Select a ladder with the proper duty rating for your weight AND the materials you are handling. ?

Rev: Proper Height Extension Ladders When using an extension ladder for access to another level, the ladder must extend at least 3 ft. (.9 m) above the landing to provide a hand hold for getting on and off the ladder.

Rev: Ladder Height Extension 3 feet

Rev: Proper Height Extension Ladders, cont. Ladder heights are 9-11 ft. longer than the height to be reach to allow for the height/length lost when the ladder is positioned at an angle.

Rev: Proper Height Stepladders Choose a stepladder that is no more than 4 ft. shorter than the height you want to reach.

Rev: Proper Condition and Instructions Inspect the ladder for visible defects. –Never use a ladder that is broken or otherwise damaged. –Remove damaged ladders from service and tag them as damaged. Review the safety labels on the ladder. –Always comply with the warnings and instructions.

Rev:

Ladder Labels What type of information can be found on ladder labels? –Warnings –Capacity –Set-up

Rev: Determine Proper Ladder Set-up Consider placement and pitch of the ladder Secure and stabilize the ladder We’ll look at each of these in detail.

Rev: Placement Tips Avoid setting up a ladder in high traffic areas or barricaded areas. Do not use metal or aluminum ladders near electrical lines. Place ladders on stable and level surfaces.

Rev: Extension Ladders Extension ladders should be used at a 4 to 1 pitch (1.2 to.3 m). For every 4 ft. (1.2 m) in height, the bottom of the ladder should be 1 ft. (.3 m) away from the structure. Extension ladders should be used at a 4 to 1 pitch (1.2 to.3 m). For every 4 ft. (1.2 m) in height, the bottom of the ladder should be 1 ft. (.3 m) away from the structure. Example: 20 ft. (height) ÷ 4 ft. = 5 ft. pitch

Rev: Correct Pitch?

Rev: Any Hazards?

Rev: Stepladders Stepladders are designed for use in an opened-and- locked position. Do not use a stepladder that is folded or in a leaning position

Rev: Higher Ceilings Require Taller Ladders

Rev: Job built ladder over a stair opening

Rev: Secure and Stabilize Ladders Extension ladders should be secured at the top or bottom to prevent movement. The base of an extension ladder must be secured in place by using the safety feet on the ladder or other effective means.

Rev: Secured at the Top

Rev: Secured at the Bottom

Rev: Secure and Stabilize Ladders, cont. Slippery Surfaces Never use a ladder on a slippery surface, unless it is secured to prevent movement. –Wet or slippery surfaces may require a cleat. –Ladder feet should dig into the ground, and the ladder should be secured at the bottom to prevent movement/slipping.

Rev: Loose Soil

Rev: Firm Base

Rev: Unstable Base

Rev: Secure and Stabilize Ladders, cont. Uneven Surface When the surface is not level, use a ladder leveler (accessory) to provide even contact points.

Rev: Maintain a Safe Position on Ladders Face the ladder when ascending or descending and maintain three points of contact at all times. Keep your body centered on the ladder. Never let your belt buckle pass either ladder siderail.

Rev: Maintain a Safe Position on Ladders, cont.

Rev: Maintain a Safe Position on Ladders, cont. Do not overreach when working from the ladder. Do not stand on the top two rungs of a stepladder. Do not allow another person on a ladder at any given time, unless you are using a double-cleated ladder that is intended for two-way traffic.

Rev: Scaffolding A safe alternative to using ladders is to use: Interior and Exterior Scaffolding Aerial Lifts...if OSHA requirements and safety practices are followed. We’ll look at each of these in detail.

Rev:

Pump Jack Scaffold

Rev: Interior and Exterior Scaffolding Job-built scaffolding that is improperly constructed is extremely hazardous. Various types and brands of interior and exterior scaffolding are commercially available. –Always, follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions.

Rev: Masonry Blocks Are Not Acceptable

Rev: Interior and Exterior Scaffolding, cont. Scaffolding that is 10 ft. or higher must be equipped with guardrails. A competent person must supervise the set-up and take down of all scaffolding. Walls that support exterior scaffold must be capable of supporting, without failure, the weight of the scaffold and four times the maximum intended load on the scaffolding. Scaffolding must be fully planked, and planks must be secured so they cannot move.

Rev: Will This Scaffold hold 4 times the Intended Load?

Rev: Guardrail Requirements- Scaffolds Toprails Between 38” and 45” High Guardrails to 200 Lbs/Midrails to min. 75 Lbs – 150 lbs depending on Toprail capacity. Cross Bracing OK as Guardrail if Between 20” and 30” for Midrail 38” to 48” for Toprail Protect from Falling Objects –All Workers on Scaffolds MUST Wear Hard Hats

Rev: Midrail Toprail Cross Bracing OK as Toprail

Rev: Scaffold Access Ladders Needed if Access More Than 2’ Don’t Climb Cross Braces Place Ladders Securely

Rev:

Aerial Lifts Aerial lifts (e.g., JLG boom lift) or approved personnel lift baskets on rough terrain forklifts is a safe alternative to working from: Ladders, or other types of scaffolding. An aerial lift can be used for the installations of: windows soffit fascia gutters siding

Rev: Aerial Lifts, cont.

Rev: Aerial Lifts, cont.

Rev: Aerial Lifts, cont. The competent person should: Restrict operation of aerial lifts or forklift vehicles to trained and authorized personnel. Use only commercially built personnel baskets designed for lifting workers. –Follow the American National Standards Institute’s (ANSI) standards for using personnel lift baskets. Make certain that homemade boxes lifted by a forklift are not used—homemade boxes are unacceptable. The competent person should: Restrict operation of aerial lifts or forklift vehicles to trained and authorized personnel. Use only commercially built personnel baskets designed for lifting workers. –Follow the American National Standards Institute’s (ANSI) standards for using personnel lift baskets. Make certain that homemade boxes lifted by a forklift are not used—homemade boxes are unacceptable.

Rev: Aerial Lifts, cont. When in the lift: Wear a full body harness. Attach the lanyard to the boom or an approved anchor point inside the basket.

Rev:

Aerial Lifts, cont.

Rev: Aerial Lifts, cont. When in the lift: Always stand on the floor of the basket. Do not sit or climb on the edge of the basket, lean over the edge, or climb out of the basket. Do not use a ladder or other objects to increase reach.

Rev: Aerial Lifts, cont. When operating the lift: Stay at the controls at all times. Do not move the vehicle while a person is in the elevated basket. Only use the equipment when it is on stable and level ground. Maintain the required minimum clearance of 10 ft. (3 m) from power lines carrying 50 kilovolts or less.
