Scaffolding Safety
Enhance knowledge and skills and scaffold safety including installation, inspection, and dismantling of scaffolds based on D.O. 128 - 13 of DOLE.
Scaffolding safety is crucial in any construction or maintenance project that requires working at heights. Proper safety measures must be implemented to ensure the safety of workers and prevent accidents.Some of the key scaffolding safety measures include:
Scaffolding should only be erected, altered, or dismantled by a competent person who has received the necessary training.
The scaffolding should be designed and constructed by a qualified engineer or scaffolding designer.
The scaffolding should be inspected regularly by a competent person to ensure it is in good condition and safe for use.
All workers using the scaffolding should be provided with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as hard hats, safety shoes, and harnesses.
Scaffolding should be stable, level, and adequately braced to prevent collapse or movement.
The scaffolding should have safe access and egress points, such as ladder access, and the access points should be clearly marked and secured.
Workers should be trained in safe working practices, such as not overloading the scaffolding, not leaning over the guardrails, and not working on a wet or slippery surface.
By implementing these measures, scaffolding safety can be ensured, and workers can work safely and efficiently at heights.
SCAFFOLDING
“Long way Up, Long Way Down” is the phrase used for the most common
accident involving scaffolding. Falls from high places are usually serious. When
scaffolds are not upright or used properly, falls can occur. Protecting workers
from scaffold related accidents would prevent many deaths and more than
4,000 injuries each year.
A trained “competent person” should be used to supervise all scaffold
erections. A “competent person” must be able to take prompt action to
eliminate predictable hazards. Logically then, he/she should be within line of
site of erection, dismantling or alteration activity.
Safe Work Practices and Tips:
• Inspect all scaffolds prior to use. Use tagging system, green for “ready to use”, yellow
for “caution/use personal fall arrest”, or red for “do not use”.
• Each employee working on a scaffold must be trained by a qualified person.
• Barricade the area below the scaffold to protect from falling objects.
• Make sure of debris nets, catch platforms, screens and toe-boards to protect
employees from falling objects.
• Do not work on scaffolds outside during stormy or windy weather.
• Do not use scaffolds unless guardrails and all flooring are in place.
• Use your safety belts and lanyards when working on scaffolding at height of 10 feet
or above. Attach the lanyard to secure member of scaffold.
• Do not jump from. to. or between scaffolding.
• Keep both feet on the decking. Do not sit or climb on the guardrails.
• Level the scaffold after each move. Don't extend adjusting leg screws more than 12
inches.
• Do not use scaffold if any rope is frayed, torn or visibly damaged.
• Keep scaffold clean of scraps, loose tools, tangled lines or obstructions.
Last year in the UK 40 people died and nearly 43,000 reported non fatal injuries as a result of a fall from height in the workplace. Falls from height are the most common cause of fatal injury and the second most common cause of major injury to employees, accounting for around 15% of all such injuries...

Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.
Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

7. Introduction of Scaffolding
It should be understood that scaffolding is an extremely important
precise structure in which intelligence will never fail.
A lot of this misuse could be avoided by stricter supervision on
site.
Safety should be every one’s business from management down to
workers.
Accidents not only cause injury and pain, they can also kill.
And there is always the loss of productivity to be considered.
The accident involving scaffolding are not always due to faulty
construction but also misuse and by being tampered with
inexperienced people.
8. Hazards In Scaffolding
The major faults that arise are the following:
Removing boards from working platforms
Taking braces out at the platform levels.
Removing handrails and toe boards.
Taking ladders away from their original locations.
Failing to stack materials properly.
• Employees working on scaffolds are exposed to these hazards:
• Falls from elevation
• Struck by falling tools /debris
• Electrocution
• Scaffold collapse
• Planking failure
9. Safety In Scaffolding
Be Wise
Be Safe And Never Sorry
Ignorance Is No Moral Defence
Do Not Stand:
• On Ties,
• Guardrails,
• Or Extensions
Do Not Overreach Outside The Guardrails
Stay Off Scaffold During Loading Or Unloading
Replace Guardrails After Loading Or Unloading
Use 3-point Climbing
Don’t Hang Tarps Without Evaluation
Exit Mobile Scaffolds Before Moved
• Always Wear Fall Protection To Avoid Accidents
