2 For tall trusses, trust i SafeStep The SafeStep system is desiged to allow safe access to high level areas withi the roof space. The system ca be istalled by either carpeters or scaffolders. It is the user s resposibility to esure that SafeStep is used i accordace with the Workig at Height Regulatios 005. The roof truss logitudial web bracig should be fixed i advace to act as a guardrail, i accordace with the locatios show o the roof truss profile diagram. It is ot recommeded that ay works are carried out overhead while usig the SafeStep product. The safe workig UDL load of this product is 75kg. The recommeded platform width is 115mm. The maximum platform width is 100mm. The maximum truss to truss spa is 400mm, based o usig 3mm thick scaffold boards. Maximum mm thick scaffold boards spa 1.m. It is the user s resposibility to check the support requiremets of the scaffold boards before erectio. I the evet of predicted wids i excess of 17 mph (Beaufort wid scale 4) the scaffoldig battes should be removed ad ot used agai util ormal coditios resume. Istallatio of the SafeStep system The SafeStep system is desiged to allow safe access to the apex of tall trusses i cold roofs, to fit ridge ad rafter diagoal bracig ad also to aid completig ay other high level work, such as fixig top hats ad chimey trimmigs. Please refer to the specific SafeStep drawig supplied for the roof trusses that are beig erected. 1 3 SafeStep ca be used i cojuctio with timber or metal scaffold boards. If mm timber scaffold boards are used the bars ca be spaced up to 100mm apart, with metal plaks this is icreased to 400mm. Esure that the SafeStep bars are complete with all parts i place ad there is o damage to ay of the compoets. The fall-arrest system employed dictates the way the SafeStep bars are fixed; if bags are i use the the scaffold boards should be used to form a platform o the bottom chord to allow for access to the trusses where the bars are to be fitted, if a safety deck is i place the this ca be used. Slide the SafeStep bar oto the ier web i the cetre bay of the truss ad positio the bolt to the outside of this web. Slide the SafeStep bar oto the other ier web ad positio the bolt to the outside of this web. Repeat this procedure for the remaiig bars to be used. Suitable access steps ca be supplied by the SafeStep provider. The operatives should work from a suitable deckig system or birdcage scaffoldig platform whe erectig ad dismatlig SafeStep. This product must be ispected before ad after use for wear ad tear. As a good safe workig practice, a competet perso should carry out pre-use ispectio ad seve day ispectio o all compoets ad platforms, with a record kept of ispectios, repairs ad actios required. 4 5 The logitudial web brace should be fitted approximately 900mm above the evetual platform height of the SafeStep system, this is used to form a hadrail. A short legth of bracig should also be used to form a guard rail at each ed of the platform area. Check the bars are level ad secure by usig the bolt which fixes to the face of oe web. 7 Place the scaffold boards across the SafeStep bars to form a platform - the boards must ot catilever beyod the ed bars by more tha 1mm. 8 Access the platform, use a secured ladder if ecessary ad refer to the HSE guidace o the use of ladders. 9 If the area of roof to be braced is loger tha the platform the repeat the above procedure to move the system alog the roof lie. Oce the bracig is complete reverse the above procedure to remove the SafeStep system. Secure the trusses usig timber bracig to the Buildig Desigers drawigs.
