Product Overview
This Mobile Scaffold Tower Erection and Use SWMS is a site-ready Safe Work Method Statement designed to identify hazards, assess risks, and implement effective controls for the safe setup and operation of mobile scaffold towers. It is a comprehensive document that covers multiple aspects of mobile scaffold erection, movement, inspection, and use to support WHS compliance and safer management of High Risk Construction Work at height.
Activities & Specific Tasks Covered
This document includes specific risk controls for:
- Erection of mobile scaffold towers in accordance with manufacturer instructions and site requirements
- Selection of suitable ground and surface conditions for stable mobile scaffold installation
- Assembly, bracing, and securing of mobile scaffold frames, platforms, and guardrails
- Safe use of mobile scaffolds for access, work positioning, and task completion at height
- Movement and relocation of mobile scaffold towers around the worksite, including exclusion zones
- Inspection of mobile scaffolds before first use, after alteration, and following adverse events
- Use of locking castors, outriggers, and stabilisers to prevent scaffold movement or overturning
- Control of loads on platforms, including tools, materials, and workers to prevent overloading
- Safe access and egress to mobile scaffold platforms using internal ladders or designated access points
- Weather-related risk management, including wind, rain, and environmental conditions affecting scaffold stability
- Prevention of falls from height through guardrails, mid-rails, toe boards, and safe work practices
- Management of electrical risks when operating mobile scaffolds near overhead power lines or live services
- Housekeeping and control of debris, trip hazards, and materials around and on mobile scaffold towers
- Emergency procedures for falls, scaffold instability, or structural failure of the mobile tower
