Common use of Scaffold Towers Clause in Contracts

Scaffold Towers. The use of scaffold towers at the Dubai World Trade Centre must be in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations. Dubai Municipality rules do not allow employees to be exposed to falls of 2 meters or greater at any time in a construction environment. Scaffold towers must be fully erected when in use (see diagram), with a double handrail, sufficient working platform areas, a safe method of access and egress and not exceeding a height 3.5 times the shortest width of the tower for internal use and 3 times externally. Outriggers must be used or stability achieved through an alternative safe means. Use of fall arrest equipment, such as harnesses, shall only be for short duration work where the full erection of the tower is not physically possible. Alternatives to manufactured harnesses are not permitted including substitute harnesses made from rope, cable, wire or similar products and materials. Scaffold towers must not be moved whilst persons are situated on the tower. Towers must be wheels locked and level when in use. The tower must only be used for work and must not be used as a base for lifting operations unless suitable consideration has been given to this requirement in the design and assembly of the equipment. Access to the working level of the tower must be in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations. Usually this is internally in the tower and through the trap door in the working platform. Accessing roof level areas in the exhibition halls must only be with the use of a working platform or similar equipment which is safe to use. Only specifically manufactured equipment such as genie booms and scissor lifts may be used in these high level areas provided they are designed to reach hall roof level heights. Scaffold towers are NOT permitted to work at roof level height as this is not accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations for use. Where a scaffold remains erected in one place for seven days or longer it should be subject to a formal weekly inspection, carried out by a competent person and recorded for future reference by Dubai. Dual purpose scaffold towers which act as system scaffold as well as a tower scaffold, which do not provide adequate edge protection, will not be permitted in the halls.
