1. INTRODUCTION
This Safe Work Method Statement provides information on how to manage risks associated with
scaffolds and scaffolding work at a workplace. It is supported by guidance for scaffold installation,
scaffold dismantling, scaffold inspection and maintenance, and advice for contractor and workers on
managing the risks associated with scaffolds and related scaffolding work.
A scaffold is a temporary structure erected to support access or working platforms. Scaffolds are
commonly used in construction work so workers have a safe, stable work platform when work
cannot be done at ground level or on a finished floor.
Scaffolding work is erecting, altering or dismantling a temporary structure erected to support a
platform and from which a person or object could fall more than 4 metres from the platform or the
structure. Scaffolding work must be undertaken under supervision of scaffold supervisor, which by a
person holding the appropriate licence.
Every metal tube scaffold exceeding 40 meter in height and every other scaffold exceeding 15
metres in height shall be constructed in accordance with the design and drawings of a Professional
Engineer.
4. 3 | P a g e
2. PURPOSE
The following method statement is written to provide a safe and efficient system of work for the
installation of general working scaffold to all areas of construction sites both internal and external. It
will also cover all scaffold adaption’s to general scaffold and any safety and maintenance checks to
be held under current safety legislation within the construction industry. It will cover such areas as;
first installation scaffold, basic lifts (internal and external), adaption’s as work progresses during the
duration of project to basic scaffolding and general working guidelines . Any deviation which is
necessary for Safe Work Method Statement must first be notified to Project Manager and P.E who
will agree the best approach to Safe Work Method Statement with principle contractors approval.
3. SCOPE
This guide covers the erecting, altering and dismantling of prefabricated frame modular
scaffolding founded on the ground or another solid surface.
Fully decked scaffolds over 15 m in height may exceed the design strength of the system and the
design should be verified by an engineer competent in scaffold design.
There may be prefabricated modular steel scaffolding designs (component or site-specific
configuration) that require specific erection methods. For example:
• scaffolds that require specific engineering designs, such as hung scaffolds, cantilevered
scaffolds, loading platforms, birdcage scaffolds or scaffolds where the loads from
one bay are transferred to the adjoining standards, eg spur scaffolds or scaffolds
incorporating an access opening
5. 4 | P a g e
4. DEFINITIONS
For the purpose of this guide, the following definitions apply:
BASE LIFT the first level of transoms and ledgers above the jacks.
CLOSED PLATFORM a platform that is constructed and that is capable of
functioning as a working platform, but is temporarily closed to
any loading or access.
ERECTION PLATFORM a temporary platform that is placed on the scaffold or
temporarily constructed as part of the scaffold to assist with
the installation (or removal) of the standards, transoms,
ledgers, guardrails and mid-rails for the platform above.
HOP-UP BRACKET
(PLATFORM a bracket that is attached to a scaffold to enable a platform to
BRACKET) be placed adjacent to a bay of an independent scaffold.
MUST indicates that the requirements are mandatory under the
occupational health and safety legislation.
PRINCIPAL
CONTRACTOR
a person who is appointed or taken to be the principal
contractor for the construction work.
SAFE WORK METHOD • describes how work is to be carried out
STATEMENT • identifies the work activities assessed as having safety risks
• identifies the safety risks
• describes the control measures that will be applied to the
work activities
• includes a description of the equipment used in the
work, the standards and codes to be complied with, the
qualifications of the personnel doing the work and the
training required to do the work.
SHOULD indicates a recommendation to do something that is not a
mandatory requirement under the occupational health and
safety legislation.
SOLID SURFACE a surface with adequate stiffness and strength to sustain
imposed loads from the scaffold.
TEMPORARY EDGE
PROTECTION a guardrail and midrail or proprietary system installed
to provide fall protection for scaffolders in advance of
the placement (or after removal) of the permanent edge
protection.
6. 5 | P a g e
TIE BAR a member fixed to the cantilevered end of a pair of hop-up
brackets to prevent the brackets from spreading and the
planks from becoming dislodged.
TOE BOARD a scaffold plank or purpose-designed component fixed at the
edge of a platform to prevent material from falling off the
platform.
WORKING FACE the face of a building or structure at which the scaffold has
been erected to enable work to be carried out at some stage
of the project.
WORKING PLATFORM a platform on a scaffold, positioned at a work location for
supporting personnel, equipment and materials, and used to
provide a working area.
7. 6 | P a g e
5. CONTROL MEASURES FOR WORKING PLATFORMS
There should be a system in place to limit the number of platforms permitted as working
platforms, and to limit the respective platform ratings, to prevent the scaffold being overloaded.
Possible systems include:
• closing off platforms at the access points by physical means
• placing signs at the access points to each platform, advising if closed or indicating the duty
rating of a working platform
• assigning an on-site scaffold coordinator to the relevant contractors, to control the use of various
platforms, or sections of platform.
Principal contractors must clearly identify in their site-specific occupational health and safety (OHS)
management plan those responsible for implementing the control measures.
The system should also:
• include in the site induction the control measures and the names of those persons
responsible for implementing the controls
• have means to identify working platforms that are closed – this can be discussed at regular
toolbox meetings
• have means to monitor and review the control measures regularly – if the control measures are
not effective, they should be modified, and records of the monitoring and modifications should
be kept.
6. ERECTING, ALTERING OR DISMANTLING
Risk assessments and safe work method statements are the joint responsibility of the principal
contractor and scaffolding employer. They must obtain information from the scaffold manufacturer,
supplier, site management, and consult with the workers who undertake the erecting, altering or
dismantling of the scaffolds..
For safe completion of the work, consider the following:
• Pass scaffold items – do not throw them.
• The scaffolder must work from a safe position when installing edge protection for the platform
above, eg by:
• The scaffolder should be supported on a fully planked platform when installing the platform
immediately above.
• The fully planked platforms should be nominally 2 m apart, vertically, and remain in place
until the scaffold is dismantled.
• The first platform can be up to 3 m above the ground or supporting surface, except for the
access bay.
• Safe access must be provided up to the first platform and between platforms on the scaffold.
• Risks from overhead power lines must be assessed and controlled.

• Working from an erection platform on the fully planked
platform, dismantle guardrails, mid-rails, ledgers, transoms
and standards from the level above.
• Step off the erection platform.
• Dismantle the hop-up platform above, if in place.
• Remove not more than three planks (ensure at least two
planks remain) to enable the dismantled materials to be
passed down to the next level (where they are to be
temporarily stacked or removed from the scaffold).
• If removing dismantled materials progressively down through
the scaffold, ensure that the gaps created are not directly
below each other and that planks are replaced when a gap is
not being used to lower materials.
• Remove ties progressively as the scaffold is dismantled.
Progressively repeat this procedure until dismantling can be
completed from the ground
