Specific Requirements of Welded Frame and Suspended Scaffolds

• Structure at intervals not to exceed 30 feet horizontally and 26 feet vertically.

• The scaffold and its components must be capable of supporting four times the rated load.

• The scaffold must be secured to the building.

• Outriggers must be used on narrow frame type scaffolds whenever frames are stacked more than one section high.

• Cross-braces of the proper length must be used to ensure that the scaffold will remain plumb and rigid.

• Each worker on a scaffold more than 10 feet above a lower level must be protected from falling to that lower level.
