All loose materials, sheeting ete. must be removed before the main scaffolds dismantied ensuring that it remains adequately braced and tied. A temporary wozking platform must be positioned below the level tobe dismantled and be at least 3 batien wide. The scaffold must be dismantled in layers, The diagonal bracing and building ties must only be removed when that partof the scaffoldis tobe dismantled ll Safety steps > Ensure thatthe scaffoldersare trained and groperty supervised during erection and dismantling of scaffolding Check the foundation for maximum leg lad, before starting the scaffold erection > Initial and periodiclevelling of scaffolding must be-checked using spirit level > Scaffold structure must be strengthened using bracing andtiesas the scafold progresses >All working platforms are tobe closely boarded, Toe boards and guardrails must be provided for any platform from which a persons Hable to fall > Wherever aladderis used to reach working platforms, itshould not stand on loose materials and bricks and should always standoon firmandalevel base. > Scaffolds should not be overloaded and material placed on any scaffold should be for use within a reasonable time.
