10 Technical / Informational A Planks / Decks INGENUITY PRODUCTIVITY RELIABILITY DURABILITY SAFETY STRENGTH SUSTAINABILITY Advances in American wood science and manufacturing technology contribute to the A PLANK advantage. Douglas-fir, a native species of north America was selected for its superior strength-to-weight ratio. Logs are peeled to yield thin sheets of veneer. Each A PLANK Consist of multiple layers of veneer graded by strength and density. Naturally occurring wood defects such as knots and slope of grain are dispersed during the lay-up and lamination process for greater consistency and strength compared to solid lumber planks. The multiple layers of thin DF veneer enhances the structural uniformity and increases the strength and reliability of our American made A PLANK. Strength and Stiffness Verification Every A Plank is individually proof tested to insure that each plank meets OSHA deflection limits before being branded as a scaffold plank. Modulus of Rupture and Modulus of Elasticity are frequently tested throughout the LVL production process in accordance with the requirements of APA-EWS and independent third party inspection agency. A PLANK is designed to conform to ANSI A Loading Requirements. Applicable Design Standards ICBO 1997 Uniform Building Code Structural Laminated Veneer Lumber. U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, OSHA Scaffold Standards (29 CFR 1910 and 1929) ANSI A , Safety Requirements for Scaffolding. Plank Embossing Each plank is permanently embossed with the following: A PLANK MADE IN USA OSHA APA-EWS 1081 Production Date PROOF TESTED SCAFFOLD PLANK. Scarfed face joints for a smooth flat working surface. Erased edges for splinter free handling. COMPLIES WITH OSHA REQUIREMENTS PLYWOOD / ALUMINUM DECKS ALL ALUMINUM DECKS Lightweight, yet stronger than wood, are easier to move, up or down. Offset hoods allow for continuous run. Plywood is held in place and edges protected by extruded aluminum side channels. Aluminum cross channels provide additional support for plywood deck, have less flexing.

12 Technical / Informational Tips on Scaffold Safety These tips and suggestions are designed to promote safety in the use of steel scaffolding. They are intended to deal only with some of the many practices and conditions encountered in the use of scaffolding. They do not purport to be all inclusive or to replace other additional safety and precautionary measures to cover usual or unusual conditions. They are not intended to conflict with, or supersede any OSHA, federal, state, local statutes or regulations. Check Safety Codes Check frequently with your local OSHA, state and local Don t Short Change Bracing Use bracing at all points provided. Add extra braces if Reject Damaged Parts Bent or otherwise damaged frames or braces should not Inclement Weather Don t work on scaffolds in bad weather or high winds unless the Competent Person decides it is OK to do so. Platforms should be cleared of ice and or snow before Tie Scaffold to the Building Scaffolding should be tied to the structure using #9 wire or tie-in devices. The first vertical tie should be at the maximum height of 4 times the narrowest base dimension. Additional ties are not to exceed 26 vertically. Maximum Intermixing of Components Scaffold frames and their components manufactured by different companies shall not be intermixed, unless the component parts readily fit together without force and the Competent Person determines the resulting scaffold is Personal Safety Equipment Anyone working on a scaffold must wear a hard hat and steel toed work boots. Additionally, fall protection systems must be used when requested by the proper authorities. Scaffolding is not designed as an anchor point for fall Don t Ride a Rolling Scaffold The platform height of a Rolling Scaffold must not exceed four (4) times the smallest base dimension (Cal/OSHA and some Government agencies require a stricter ratio of Begin with Good Footings Scaffolds must bear on base plates or screw jacks on a Work Practices Safe work practice training by a Competent Person must be given to workers who erect, dismantle, move, operate, repair, maintain, inspect, and use scaffolding Scaffold Training Re-training is necessary when workers are exposed to new hazards or conditions on the job or when workers SAFETY 1 Inspect and Check Guard Rails Top Guard Rails must be installed between 36 and 45 (if manufactured and placed into service after Jan. 1, 2000, between 38 and 45 ). Mid rail is placed halfway in be- Cross Braces Cross braces should not be used as a way to climb the scaffold. All braces must be checked for proper engagement onto locks. Cross bracing is acceptable for mid rail if cross point is between 20 and 30 above the work platform. Cross bracing is acceptable for top rail if cross point is between 38 and 45 above the work platform. Cross Toe Boards Debris and rubble should not be allowed to accumulate on the work platform and should be removed as quickly as possible. Additionally, tools and other materials should not be allowed to accumulate. Toe boards should be used to prevent tools and materials from being knocked off the Work Platforms Use metal catwalks or platforms where available. If wood plank is used, it must be scaffold grade or better. Inspect thoroughly before each and every job to make sure it is free from breaks, knots, cracks, or warpage. Deckage Plank Overlapping Planks 10 long or less require a 6 minimum and a 12 maximum overlap. Planks greater than 10 long require a 6 minimum and an 18 maximum overlap. Protect Working Levels Use overhead canopies to protect workers on lower work levels when work is being done overhead. Rope off unsafe areas underneath scaffold or provide wire mesh around Don t Overload Scaffolding Follow the safe load capacities as provided by the manufacturer...there s a limit even to what steel can support. A 4 to 1 safety factor must be calculated and maintained at Power Lines DO NOT use scaffolding where the user can come into Inspect & Check Take no chances. Inspect the scaffold setup after erection and daily when in use. Don t remove or allow removal of any parts without the OK from the Competent Person. When wire rope is used, inspect it on each job. 12

13 Technical / Informational New OSHA Rules for Scaffolding A) Reasons for New Rules 1. 9% of all construction fatalities occurred Scaffolding 2. There have been 510,500 injuries and 9,750 reported deaths % of injuries involved planking and supports % of people on jobs received no training on Scaffolding. 5. Only 33% of inspected Scaffolding have guard rails. B) Objectives 1. Don t let the scaffold fall. 2. Don t fall off the scaffold. 3. Don t let the material fall off the scaffold. C) Key Definitions 1. Competent Person: means one who is capable of indentifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous to employees, and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them. 2. Qualified Person: means one who, by possession of a recognized degree, certificate, or professional standing, or who by extensive knowledge, training, and experience, has successfully demonstrated His/her ability to solve or resolve problems related to the subject mater, the work or the project. Name of Competent Person Name of Qualified Person D) Significant Changes to Subpart L 1. Fall protection for Erectors and Dismantlers: The new standard now requires employees be protected from falls while erecting (including increasing the height of the scaffold as the work progresses). The employers must conduct a feasibility study to determine when fall protection, such as personal fall protection systems, are feasible and do not create a greater hazard. (Scaffolding is not designed as an anchor point for fall arrest). 2. Electrical Shock Protection: The new standard requires safe distance from power lines be maintained as outlined in the standard. 3. Employee Training: The new standard now specifically requires all employees who work on, erect or dismantle, repair, operate, maintain or inspect scaffolding be trained in specific areas related to the safe use of the scaffold. 4. Daily Inspections: The new standard requires the scaffold be inspected before each use, daily or before each work shift by a competent person. 5. Welding from a Suspended Scaffold: The new standard requires specific precaution be taken when welding from a suspended scaffold to prevent current travel and/or arcing in the scaffold components. 6. Cross Braces as Railings: The new standard specifically addresses under what circumstances a cross brace can substitute as a top or mid rail (not both). 7. Access: The standard now defines how and under what circumstances a ladder or steps will be used.

14 TECHNICAL / INFORMATIONAL Codes of Safe Practices For Frame Scaffolds, System Scaffolds, Tube and Clamp Scaffolds, and Rolling Towers 1. General Guidelines a) Post this Scaffolding Safety Guidelines in a conspicuous place and be sure that all persons who erect, dismantle or use scaffolding are aware of them. b) Follow all state, local and federal codes, ordinances and regulations pertaining to scaffolding. c) Survey the job site. A survey shall be made of the job site for hazards, such as untamped earth fills, ditches, debris, high tension wires, unguarded openings, and other hazardous conditions created by other trades. These conditions shall be corrected or avoided as noted in the following sections. d) Inspect all equipment before using. Never use any equipment that is damaged or defective in anyway. Remove it from the job site. e) Scaffolds must be erected in accordance with design and or manufacturer s recommendations. f) Do not erect, dismantle or alter a scaffold unless under the supervision of a qualified person. g) Do not abuse or misuse the scaffold equipment. h) Erected scaffolds should be continually inspected by users to be sure that they are maintained in a safe condition. Report any unsafe condition to your supervisor. i) Never take chances! If in doubt regarding the safety or use of scaffold, consult your scaffold supplier. j) Never use equipment for purposes or in ways for which it was not intended. k) Do not work on scaffolds if your physical condition is such that you feel dizzy or unsteady in any way. 2. Guidelines for Erection and Use of Scaffolds a) Scaffolds base must be set on adequate sill or pad to prevent slipping or sinking and fixed thereto where required. Any part of a building or structure used to support the scaffold shall be capable of supporting the maximum load to be applied. b) Use adjusting screws or other approved methods instead of blocking to adjust to uneven grade conditions. c) Bracing, Leveling & Plumbing of Frame Scaffolds. 1. Plumb and level all scaffolds as the erection proceeds. Do not force frames or braces to fit. Level the scaffold until proper fit can easily be made. 2. Each frame or panel shall be braced by horizontal bracing, cross bracing, cross bracing diagonal bracing or any combination thereof for securing vertical members together laterally. All brace connections shall be made secure, in accordance with the manufacturer s recommendations. d) Bracing, Leveling & Plumbing of Tube & Clamp and Systems Scaffolds. 1. Posts shall be erected plumb in all directions, with the first level of runners and bearers positioned as close to the base as feasible. The distance between bearers and runners shall not exceed manufacturer s recommended procedures. 2. Plumb, level and tie all scaffolds as erection proceeds. 3. Fasten all Couplers and/or connections securely before assembly of next level. 4. Vertical and/or horizontal diagonal bracing must be installed according to manufacturer s recommendations. e) Tie continuous (running) scaffold to the wall or structure at each end and at least every 30 of length when scaffold height exceeds the maximum allowable free standing dimension. Begin ties or stabilizers when the scaffold height exceeds that dimension and repeat at vertical intervals not greater than 26. The top anchor shall be placed not lower than four (4) times the base dimension from the top of the completed scaffold. Anchors must prevent scaffold from tipping into or away from wall or structure. Stabilize circular or irregular scaffolds in such a manner that completed scaffold is secure and restrained from tipping. When scaffolds are partially or fully enclosed or subjected to overturning loads, specific precautions shall be taken to insure the frequency and accuracy of ties to the wall and structure. Due to increased loads resulting from wind or overturning loads the scaffolding component to which ties are subject shall be checked for additional loads. f) When free standing scaffold towers exceed four (4) times their minimum base dimension vertically, they must be sustained from tipping (CAL OSHA and some government agencies require stricter ratio of 3 to 1. g) Do not erect scaffold near electrical power lines unless proper precautions are taken. Consult the power service company for advise. h) A means of access to all platforms shall be provided. i) Do not use ladders or makeshift devices on top of scaffolds to increase the height. j) Provide guard rails and mid rails at each working platform level where open sides and ends exist, and toe boards where required by code. k) Brackets and Cantilevered Platforms 1. Brackets for System Scaffold shall be installed and used in accordance with manufacturer s recommendations. 2. Brackets for Frame Scaffolds shall be seated correctly with side bracket parallel to the frames and end brackets at 90 degrees to the frames. Brackets shall not be bent or twisted from normal position. Brackets (except mobile brackets designed to carry materials) are to be used as work platforms only and shall not be used for storage of material or equipment. 3. Cantilevered platforms shall be designed, installed and used in accordance with manufacturer s recommendations. l) All scaffolding components shall be installed and used in accordance with the manufacturer s recommended procedure. Components shall not be altered in the field. Scaffold frames and their components manufactured by different companies shall not be intermixed, unless the component parts readily fit together and the resulting scaffold s structural integrity is maintained by the user. m) Planking 1. Work platforms shall cover scaffold bearer as completely as possible. Only scaffold grade wood planking, or fabricated planking and decking meeting scaffold use requirements shall be used. 2. Check each plank prior to use to be sure plank is not warped, damaged, or otherwise unsafe. 3. Planking shall have at least 12 overlap and extend 6 beyond center of support, or be cleated or restrained at both ends to prevent sliding off supports. 4. Solid sawn lumber, LVL (laminated veneer lumber) or fabricated scaffold planks and platforms (unless cleated or restrained) shall extend over their end supports not less than 6 nor more than 18. This overhang should not be used as a work platform. n) For Putlogs and Trusses, the following additional guidelines apply. 1. Do not cantilever or extend putlogs/trusses as side brackets without thorough consideration for loads to be applied. 2. Putlogs/Trusses should extend at least 6 beyond the point of support. 3. Place proper bracing between putlog/truss when the span of the putlog/truss is more than 12. o) For Rolling Scaffolds, the following additional guidelines apply. 1. Riding the rolling tower is very hazardous. THE SCAFFOLD INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION DOES NOT RECOMMEND NOR ENCOURAGE THIS PRACTICE. However, if you choose to do so, be sure to follow all state, federal or other governmental guidelines. 2. Casters with plain stems shall be attached to the panel or adjusting screw by pins or other suitable means. 3. No more than 12 of the screw jack shall extend between the bottom of the adjusting nut and the top of the caster. 4. Wheels or casters shall be provided with the locking means to prevent caster rotation and scaffold movement and kept locked. 5. Joints shall be restrained from separation. 6. Use horizontal, diagonal bracing near the bottom and at 20 intervals measured from the rolling surface. 7. Do not use brackets or other platform extensions without compensating for the the overturning effect. 8. The platform height of a rolling scaffold must not exceed 4 times the smallest base dimension. (CAL OSHA and some government agencies require a ratio of 3 to 1). 9. Cleat or secure all planks. 10. Secure or remove all materials and equipment from platform before moving. 11. Do not attempt to move a rolling scaffold without sufficient help watch out for holes in the floor or overhead obstructions stabilize against tipping. p) Safe use of scaffold 1. Prior to use, inspect scaffold to insure it has not been altered and is in safe working condition. 2. Erected scaffolds and platforms should be inspected continuously by those using them. 3. Exercise caution when entering or leaving work platform. 4. Do not overload scaffold. Follow manufacturer s safe working load recommendations. 5. Do not jump on to planks or platforms. 6. Do not use ladders or make shift devices on top of working platforms to increase the height or to provide access from above. 7. Climb in access areas only and use both hands. 3. When Dismantling Scaffolding the Following Additional Guidelines Apply: a) Check to insure that the scaffolding has not be structurally altered in a way in which would make it unsafe, and if it has, reconstruct where necessary before commencing with dismantling procedures. This includes all scaffold types. b) Visually inspect plank prior to dismantling to be sure they are safe. c) Consideration must be given as to the effect removal of a component with have on the rest of the scaffold prior to that components removal. d) Do not accumulate excess components or equipment on the level being dismantled. e) Do not remove ties until scaffold above has been removed (dismantled). f) Lower dismantled components in an orderly manner. Do not throw off of the scaffold. g) Dismantled equipment should be stock piled in an orderly manner. h) Follow erection procedures and use manuals. These safety guidelines (Code of Safe Practice) set forth common sense procedures for safely erecting, dismantling and using scaffold equipment. However, equipment and scaffolding systems differ, and accordingly, reference must always be made to the instructions and procedures of the supplier and or manufacturer of the equipment. Since field conditions vary and are beyond the control of the Scaffold Industry Association, safe and proper use of scaffolding is the sole responsibility of the user. 14
