【SeaChannel Safety Discussion】A seemingly simple scaffold support can have so many problems
Thread Content
A simple scaffolding setup found online, and experts were able to spot so many issues
Visually, the following problems exist: 1. The length of the exposed screw on the adjustable base plate exceeds 300, and the overall height of the horizontal bar on the first layer, which serves as the cleaning bar, exceeds 550! 2. No diagonal bar has been set! 3. No diagonal bracing! 4 There is no reliable connection reinforcement, or no bracing has been installed! 5. It’s not clear whether there are pins in the bayonet-type splicing connection (it’s impossible to tell from the pictures); there are significant differences between the bayonet-type connection and the fastener-type connection in many details! For example, the snap-type adjustable bottom support can reach 550 (the height of the first horizontal bar above the ground), while the free end of the adjustable top support is at 650; with fastener-type systems, this value can only be below 500!
This is a reflection of progress in the entire industry; there is an increasing emphasis on standards, which is also the purpose of standardization
To be professional, one must master the industry standards; otherwise, it won’t work, and it might even lead to problems for oneself
