Scaffolding – regulations and practice

The paper deals with the practice versus scaffolding regulations. Due to a short period of scaffolding use, the quality of its performance is neglected. Legal acts of the scaffolding, are not always clear, which causes many problems. Minor changes to the static scheme, resulting from the need to adapt the scaffolding to irregular shapes of the object, can significantly reduce the load capacity of the scaffolding structure. Individual approach and direct cooperation are necessary of both fitters and designers during the assembly stage. Since the scaffolding used as temporary roofing for performing finishing work during the winter are not included in the catalogues and each time it is necessary to develop a separate document. Scaffolding is set directly at existing or constructed facilities and require to take all the infrastructure around it into account. It is also necessary to trace the technological process of work in order to eliminate possible overlapping of mutually exclusive processes.
