Scaffolding Level 2 Course In Pakistan Scaffolding Level 2 Course In Pakistan Scaffolding handover certificates are not a requirement by law. However, there are significant benefits for both scaffolders and their clients. The completion of the handover certificate ensures the scaffold is fit for purpose and highlights any limits such as the maximum loading. The handover certificate can also be considered the first inspection of the scaffold. Ideally the handover inspection should be conducted by a representative of the scaffolding company with a representative from the contractor/client; after all they will be responsible for the scaffold. It is also acceptable to email the certificate to the client.As part of our comprehensive scaffolding safety consultancy services, we can provide tailored scaffolding inspection services and safety audits to meet each client’s particular requirements. Utilising our professional scaffolding consultancy means you will be actively protecting yourself against risk of incident and any liability issues that may arise.

To meet the requirements of the Work at Height Regulations 2005 scaffolding should be inspected:

• After installation /prior to being used
• At least weekly thereafter
• Following any circumstances which could jeopardise the safety of the installation such as adverse weather conditions. So even if a scaffolding structure was inspected just the day before it should be inspected again if for example there were high winds overnight or reports of event such as an earthquake in the region

It is the responsibility of the hirer/ user to ensure that scaffolding has been inspected in line with the regulations.

So who should carry out the inspection? HSE guidance stipulates that scaffolding inspections should be carried out “by a competent person whose combination of knowledge, training and experience is appropriate for the type and complexity of the scaffold.” The default competence is widely held to be a Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme qualification.

A non-scaffolder who has attended a CISRS scaffold inspection course could be deemed competent to inspect a basic scaffold structure, whereas a more complex structure should be inspected by a CISRS Advanced Scaffold Inspection card holder. Scaffolders holding the appropriate level of CISRS qualification are also permitted to inspect scaffolding.

A written report should be completed for each inspection and retained on site until work is completed. Once construction work is complete, reports should then be kept at an office location for a further three months.

The following information should be included in every scaffolding inspection report:

• Name and address of the person for whom the inspection was carried out and the name and position of the person carrying out the inspection
• The location and the date and time
• A description of the place of work or where the work equipment was inspected
• Details of defects or anything identified during the inspection that could pose a risk to the health or safety of any person and any action taken to remedy this
• Details of any further action considered necessary

3. Inspect footings to see if they are level, sound, firm, and can support the loaded scaffold.

4. Ensure that the legs, posts, frames and uprights are on baseplates and mudsills.

5. Ensure there are no bends, holes, cracks, rust, pits, welding splatter, broken or, and non-compatible parts in the metal components or scaffold.

6. Check for safe access. The crossbraces should not be used as ladder for access or exit.

7. A competent person must inspect ropes (in case of suspended scaffolds) for defects prior to each work shift and after every occurrence that could affect the rope’s integrity.
