II. GUIDELINES FOR ERECTION AND USE OF ADJUSTABLE SUSPENDED SCAFFOLD
SYSTEMS
A. RIGGING:
1. UTILIZE FALL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT when rigging near unguarded edges.
2. SUPPORTING DEVICES must be capable of supporting the hoist rated load with a safety
factor of 4.
3. ALL OVERHEAD RIGGING must be secured from unwanted movement in any direction.
4. COUNTERWEIGHTS USED WITH OUTRIGGER BEAMS must be of a non-owable
material and must be secured to the beam to prevent accidental displacement.
5. OUTRIGGER BEAMS THAT DO NOT USE COUNTERWEIGHTS must be installed
and secured to the roof structure with bolts or other direct connections. Direct connections
shall be evaluated by a competent person.
6. TIE BACK ALL TRANSPORTABLE RIGGING DEVICES. Tieback shall be equivalent
in strength to the suspension ropes.
7. INSTALL TIEBACKS AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE FACE OF THE BUILDING and
secure them without slack, to a suitable anchor capable of supporting the hoist rated load with
a safety factor of 4.
8. IN THE EVENT THAT TIEBACKS CANNOT BE INSTALLED AT RIGHT ANGLES,
two tiebacks at opposing angles must be used to prevent movement.
9. RIG AND USE HOISTING MACHINES DIRECTLY UNDER THEIR SUSPENSION
POINTS to prevent movement or side loading.
