Personal fall arrest systems are required when working from an extendible boom, scissor lifts, swing stages, or suspended platform. Fall protection must comply with ANSI A10.14. For work within 6 feet of an edge, on low-slope roofs, personnel shall be protected from falling by use of personal fall arrest systems, guardrails, or safety nets. For greater than 6 feet warning lines shall be erected and installed in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.502(f). Safety monitoring system is not adequate fall protection and is not authorized. The roof area to be accessed shall be evaluated for its structural integrity including weight-bearing capabilities for the projected loading.

3.3 SCAFFOLDING

Scaffolding shall be used for safe access to elevated work above 6 feet. Climbing of any scaffold braces or supports not specifically designed for access is prohibited. Stair towers or ladders built into scaffold systems in accordance with USACE EM 385-1-1 Appendix J are required for work platforms greater than 20 feet in height. Contractor shall ensure that employees that are qualified perform scaffold erection. Do not use scaffold without the capability of supporting at least four times the maximum intended load or without appropriate fall protection as delineated in the accepted fall protection plan. Minimum platform size shall be based on the platform not being greater in height than three times the dimension of the smallest width dimension for rolling scaffold. Stationary scaffolds must be attached to structural building components to safeguard against tipping forward or backward. Outrigger brackets used to extend scaffold platforms for the storage of material is prohibited. The first tie-in shall be at the height equal to 4 times the width of the smallest dimension of the scaffold base.

3.4 DEBRIS CHUTES

Provide fixed debris chutes for the transport of all removed material and scrap from upper floor areas to ground level.

3.5 ELECTRICAL

Portable extension cords shall be sized in accordance with manufacturer ratings for the tool to be powered.
