City and international standards/codes, and Company and Contractor requirements and instructions.
All personnel will go through Gama, Linde and Company Safety Induction courses as well as other
trainings as identified by their supervisor. Please see Document Number GTL-GM-001-A-5635 for
details.
A Job Safety Analysis (JSA) specific for this work including a Risk Assessment, is prepared as per
Gama procedure GTL-GM-001-A-5626 and is attached herein. Such JSA addresses the hazards
associated with each task within the scope of this Method Statement and introduces the controls that
will be implemented to reduce the associated risks to acceptable levels. The JSA will be used by the
Site Supervisor as the basis of his TSTI / TSTO and his Toolbox Talks.
All personnel will have PPE required for their specific tasks in addition to the minimum PPE (coveralls,

SCAFFOLDING OPERATIONS
5.2.1
SCAFFOLDING ERECTION
- All scaffolding shall be erected in accordance with the British Standards (BS EN 12811-1, 2003)
regarding minimum widths, provision of hand rails, mid rails and toe-boards.
- All scaffolds shall be built to suit the loading duty required. See also Attachment 6.4 Authority Level.
- The Scafftag system shall be used to indicate the inspection status of the scaffold and a Scafftag
holder shall be utilized at each entrance to the scaffold. A scaffolding checklist & central register of
all scaffolds shall be maintained and shall be kept up to date.
- All scaffolds shall be erected on a good, solid sound base; in addition earthworks shall be
compacted before any erection activity. To ensure - the foundations or structure from which
a scaffold is built are adequate, following procedures shall be followed,
i. Metal base plates and timber sole boards shall be placed under every standard, on soft
ground or where there is any likelihood of surface penetration, metal base plates and
suitable timber sleepers shall be used.
ii. If the scaffold is to be erected on a roof or over a basement or upper floor, the

All working platforms and access ways shall be close boarded, using scaffold grade boards
compliant to the relevant British Standard. All boards shall be visually inspected before use to ensure fitness for duty.
- The scaffold shall be erected with standard centres and lift heights not in excess of those
specified in BS 5973.
- The scaffold shall be adequately braced in both directions and all braces shall be fixed as
near to the node points as possible with load bearing couplers.
- Boards must overhang the supporting transoms by a minimum of 50 mm and a maximum of
150 mm. All boards shall be secured, with non flammable material, to prevent movement.
- When erecting or dismantling scaffold the area underneath or around the scaffold structure
shall be cordoned off and patrolled to prevent unauthorised entry. Also suitable barriers or
signs shall be erected at the area.
- Tubes or boards being used in the construction of Scaffolding shall be stored flat in a neat
and tidy manner.
- Transoms must be positioned at the correct centres to adequately support the boards. When
intermediate transoms are removed from the lower lifts of progressive scaffolds, a minimum of
one tube must be left within 305mm (1) of each pair of standards and fixed on load bearing
couplers.
- Guardrails and toe boards shall be fitted to all sides of platforms in compliance with
requirements.
- Before dismantling is commenced, a visual check shall be done, ensuring that all ties are in
position and that the scaffold shall be safe.
- All spare materials shall be safely and securely stowed or they shall be returned to the rack

displayed. All incomplete structures shall be fitted with DO NOT USE or INCOMPLETE
signs as soon as possible.
- All materials shall be safely lowered or raised from one level to the next either by hand to
hand or by securely attaching to a rope and hauling. Throwing shall not be permitted.
- Fittings should be stripped from tubes during dismantling to minimise further hazards during
handling, a single fitting may be left on each tube to facilitate safe handling of the material from
or to an elevation. Fittings should be securely bagged before being towered or raised to an
elevation.
- A ladder shall be used for access to working level. Ladders shall be inspected before each
use; and colour coded per month defective ladders shall not be used.
- Ladders shall be properly lashed throughout the vertical height of the scaffolding and set on a
firm and level base. They shall be securely tied or footed and must not slip outwards or
sideward.
