Is the erection of the wooden pole scaffold in compliance with regulations?
Thread Content
May I ask, are steel pipe scaffolds the only type that can be used on site? Is the use of scaffolds made from wooden poles and secured with wire not allowed, either for safety reasons? In which regulations has it appeared?
Wooden poles are absolutely not allowed; check this specification. http://wenku.baidu.com/view/f16e79db50e2524de5187e77.html
Wooden pole scaffolds are actually permissible for use; the reason why steel pipe scaffolds are widely used at present is that hardwood poles are becoming increasingly scarce.
1. Scaffolds can be of wooden or steel tube structure, but a mixed steel-wood structure is prohibited. 2. Wooden scaffolding should be made from lightweight and tough fir or larch poles; wood that is brittle, rotten, or has dead knots must not be used.
