(2 ) Masons' multi-point adjustable suspension scaffolds. (1 ) Stonesetters' multi-point adjustable suspension scaffolds. (p ) Two-point adjustable suspension scaffolds. (o ) Single-point adjustable suspension scaffolds. (n ) Step, platform and trestle ladder scaffolds. (g ) Form scaffolds and carpenters' bracket scaffolds. (d ) Plasterers', decorators' and large area scaffolds. Scaffold components which are not selected and loaded in accordance with this Appendix, and components for which no specific guidelines or tables are given in this appendix (e.g., joints, ties, components for wood pole scaffolds more than 60 feet in height, components for heavy-duty horse scaffolds, components made with other materials, and components with other dimensions, etc.) must be designed and constructed in accordance with the capacity requirements of § 1926.451(a), and loaded in accordance with § 1926.451(d)(1). However, the guidelines do not provide all the information necessary to build a complete system, and the employer is still responsible for designing and assembling these components in such a way that the completed system will meet the requirements of § 1926.451(a). An employer may use these guidelines and tables as a starting point for designing scaffold systems. This appendix provides non-mandatory guidelines to assist employers in complying with the requirements of subpart L of this part. When the employer has reason to believe that an employee lacks the skill or understanding needed for safe work involving the erection, use or dismantling of scaffolds, the employer shall retrain each such employee so that the requisite proficiency is regained.(Non-mandatory) Appendix A to Subpart L of Part 1926-Scaffold Specifications The design criteria, maximum intended load-carrying capacity and intended use of the scaffold.The correct procedures for erecting, disassembling, moving, operating, repairing, inspecting, and maintaining the type of scaffold in question.The training shall include the following topics, as applicable: The employer shall have each employee who is involved in erecting, disassembling, moving, operating, repairing, maintaining, or inspecting a scaffold trained by a competent person to recognize any hazards associated with the work in question. Any other pertinent requirements of this subpart.The maximum intended load and the load-carrying capacities of the scaffolds used and.The proper use of the scaffold, and the proper handling of materials on the scaffold.The correct procedures for dealing with electrical hazards and for erecting, maintaining, and disassembling the fall protection systems and falling object protection systems being used.The nature of any electrical hazards, fall hazards and falling object hazards in the work area.The training shall include the following areas, as applicable: The employer shall have each employee who performs work while on a scaffold trained by a person qualified in the subject matter to recognize the hazards associated with the type of scaffold being used and to understand the procedures to control or minimize those hazards. This section supplements and clarifies the requirements of § 1926.21(b)(2) as these relate to the hazards of work on scaffolds.
