Thanks! > >Julie It,s imperative that you have good stable scaffolding,moveable with good breaks on! planks that extend at least 1 foot or more beyond the superstructure.Inspect the planks for cracks ,nails, and dry rot.If you are going higher then; 6ft./1.8M. then you will need a safety line hooked to something solid!!! on the scaffold strong enuff to support a possible fall!!! ( your weight gravity inertha at seconds to minuntes falling at length of the safety line.)hope U got that. I prefer shorter safety lines . Make sure when you move around that you stay hooked! make sure there is railing all around!I prefer double railing at the bottom every 6 inches apart. People have been known to fall out the 1 foot opening at the bottom & fall out slipping on wet oil paint, tool, orwhatever ,to their death.Keep tripping hazards way out of the way. off to the side. NO stepladders are permitted on a scaffold ...ever! Do Not step on a bucket! Just build the scaffolding up more! Look up.. Do not walk or work under where people is working above you. & have a sign at the bottom "people working aloft."Keep children and unauthorized personel out of working area. If you are going up higher then; 12 ft./3.7M. then, the top of the scaffolding needs to be anchored to something solid. No horse playing around up here!Wear a Hard Hat Be very careful. Dont take a step to meet God&Jesus & and They probably would not be so happy about you being inattentive to safety issues. pray to your God before going up. Have a safety inspector check everything .... Post Scriptus have a pail and pulley and a hired hand at the bottom to get things and pull things up up up to you.take your rests and get off the scaffold once in a while.Eat lunch off the scaffold.Work with Expieranced people. Above all inspect frequently and be safe.Get the job done. M.A.
