Folding Scaffold
Scaffold Tower
Tower
The following safety notes apply to mobile tower frame scaffolding supplied by GTPRO
It is recommended that these Safety Notes be available to the users of the scaffold and read in conjunction with:
• Assembly instructions for the particular mobile tower frame scaffold system;
• Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Control Measures for Aluminium Mobile Scaffolding.
• Local Statutory Acts and Regulations, as applicable
SAFETY NOTES
1. Ensure the scaffold is erected
in accordance with the manufacturer’s assembly instructions. Persons
erecting, modifying or dismantling
the scaffold must hold the applicable certificate of competency if:
a) The scaffold is over 4m in height
b) The fall height from the scaffold
over the edge of a floor or through
a penetration is more than 4m in
height.
c) The scaffold involves a cantilever
situation.
d) The scaffold is swing stage.
2. Do not use incorrect, incompatible or damaged materials/components. Always inspect the components before use.
3. GTPRO will provide you with a
list of components and an assembly manual to assist you in building the tower frame in a safe and
approved manner.
4. Ensure that all the components
used to erect the scaffold are from
the same manufacturer, GTPRO
issues no permission to mix and
match components from other
systems or manufacturers.
5. Ensure that there is a safe working area for the scaffold. The safest
manner is to setup a restricted
work-zone where the scaffold is
erected.
6. Do not erect scaffold closer
than 4.0m to electrical power lines.
The minimum required distance is
state-dependant so check the Statutory Regulations for your state.
7. Ensure the scaffold is erected
on structurally adequate, solid,
and unobstructed foundation.
Use sole boards if necessary.
8. Always wear gloves and a
hardhat while erecting the mobile
tower system. Assess your work
activity and wear the appropriate
personal protective equipment.
9. All platforms over 2m in height
must have toe boards, guardrails
(1m above the deck) and mid rails
(500mm above the deck) fitted.
10. Do not climb up the outside
rungs of the scaffold. Always climb
scaffold from the inside, via ladders.
11. Do not use ladders, steps and
boxes, or any equipment on top of
the working deck to gain extra
height/reach.
12. When erecting and using,
ensure the scaffold is level and in
contact with the ground, by adjusting the adjustable castors if applicable and outrigger stabilisers.
13. Do not exceed the nominated
Safe Working Load of the scaffold, usually 225kg per bay unless
otherwise specified by the supplier/
manufacturer. If you are unsure of
the SWL please contact GTPRO for
details.
14. Do not move the scaffold
with persons or materials upon it.
Before moving the scaffold assess
any overhead obstructions [e.g.
powerlines, bridges] & ground obstructions [e.g. pot holes, steps]
15. Protect the scaffold from
corrosive chemicals such as potash and hydrochloric acids. These
substances are highly corrosive
to aluminium and will affect the
strength of the equipment.
16. Do not push against the scaffold in use. If you are using the
scaffold to drill and you think you
may push against the scaffold, tie
the tower in prior to use; otherwise
the force may cause instability to
the free-standing tower.
17. When moving the scaffold
only apply force by pushing at the
base and ensure the tower remains
stable and steady during movement. Be aware of obstructions on
the ground around the area. If the
tower’s wheels have brakes, do not
push the tower while the brakes are
applied.
18. Tie the scaffold to a rigid
structure in strong wind conditions,
do not sheet the scaffold with any
materials (Shade cloth, hessian)
unless advised by a competent
ticketed scaffolder and the scaffold
is tied in.
19. Do not cantilever tubes off
the scaffold to accommodate gin
wheels or pulley system for
materials handling, this will destabilise the tower and may cause it to
collapse.
e
20. Ensure outrigger stabilisers are
in position to maintain a height to
minimum base width ratio of 3:1.
21. Ensure the scaffold is complete and if the castor wheels have
brakes, make sure they are locked
before use.
22. Ensure the scaffold is secure
against access to unauthorised
persons when left unattended.
23. Ensure the scaffold is stable
and if the wheels have brakes, they
are locked when left unattended.
24. When scaffold is incomplete
affix a warning sign: “Scaffold
Incomplete Do Not Use”, and block
off entry to unauthorised persons.
BEFORE ASSEMBLING
THE TOWER
1. Inspect the tower components
to ensure there is no damage to
the components.
2. Read the assembly manual
provided with your tower.
DURING ASSEMBLY
1. Remain cautious of overhead
powerlines, remain clear of
powerlines by at least 4.0 metres.
2. Do not leave the scaffold in an
unstable condition unattended.
TYING IN THE SCAFFOLD
MAINTENANCE
The tower must be tied in where:
1. The height of the scaffold is to
exceed 3 times the smallest base
dimensions if used outdoors or
indoors.
1. Do not throw the components to
the ground as this may damage the
parts and render them unserviceable.
2. There is a chance of high winds,
typically above 45km/h. This may
occur in wind tunnel conditions
e.g. in large buildings where both
ends are open, or in-between the
outdoor corridor of two buildings.
3. You plan on using a gin wheel or
hoist pulley to raise materials over
the side of the tower. The assembly
of the hoisting equipment must be
checked and approved by a competent person.
4. The nature of the work involved
requires you to apply a horizontal
force (e.g. drilling)
5. The tower is left unattended.
TOWER HEIGHT LIMIT
The tower height is typically a ratio
of 3:1. You may build the tower 3
times the minimum base width.
Safe Working Loads

2. GTPRO does not give the
purchaser permission to modify the
components without authorization
from the manufacturer
3. Lightly lubricate the castor wheel
threads and bolts on the outrigger
stabilisers to keep them
easy to use.
4. If the component is damaged do
not use it.
5. GTPRO components must only
be repaired by a qualified person
approved by Synergy Access
Equipment.
It is your duty to read and understand these Safety Notes before
assembling and/or using the scaffold. GTPRO does not permit any
person to assemble and/ or use
the scaffold who does not understand the material in the Safety
Notes, Safe Assembly Manual, &
Local Statutory Regulations. These
Safety Notes are to be read in conjunction with Statutory Regulations
& the Safe Assembly Manual. If
you require further assistance with
understanding the instructions,
please contact GTPRO.

Hazard identification
& Risk Assessment
!
Please read label carefully before erecting scaffolding. If in doubt ask your supplier.
HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
RISK ASSESSED
POSSIBLE RISK CONTROL
Collapse of Scaffold
SERIOUS
All scaffolds over 4m must be erected by
WorkCover approved or authorized
personnel. Tower erection procedures
must be adhered to. Scaffold must always
be erected to Assembly Instructions.
Electrocution
SERIOUS
Scaffold must not be used within 4.6m of
overhead electrical wiring. Always look
above when moving Scaffold Tower.
Falling from Scaffold
SERIOUS
Hand rails and mid rails must be used on
every deck level. Workers must not ride on
scaffold when the scaffold is being moved.
At no time can a ladder be used on the
deck of a scaffold to gain additional height
– neither step nor extension.
Internal ladders must be fitted to the
scaffold for access to the working decks.
Do not climb on the outside of the
scaffold. Internal ladder access must be
used.
Material falling from Scaffold
SERIOUS
Toe boards must be fitted on all working
deck levels of a scaffold. Ensure there are
no holes or gaps in decks that material
can fall through.
Sloping Ground
SERIOUS
If the scaffold has wheels with brakes,
they must be applied at all times when the
scaffold is in use.
Mobile Scaffolds must not be used on sloping
surface.
