The 250KG SWL is for when "Benny Flynn " is roping up ladder beams
he never used the wheel
he threw it up and was there to catch it at the top

Piece off pisss really, it's not like were doing complex lifts + it's usually the same operation repeated time & again.
Just got to include the usual, restriction of work area, type of knots & equipment being used (including inspection before use) materials, & general operation ie hand over hand lifting & lowering. Then just add the site address & any perticular bits & bobs, job done.
Make sure you put the bit in about restricting access to the lifting area because the regs state that the man controlling the operation (the numpty at the bottom of the rope) must be clearly marked & where practicable barriered off & in a safe position away from the lift to avoid the risk of a collision with others/site traffic whilst performing his task.
You don't want some smart arsed h&s making life difficult for you. :bigsmile:

i think it was a retorical question:nuts:
Probably was mate, but I know of a certain head of h&s who in likes to see the man at the bottom inside a double handrailed & gated barrier whenever possible & have actually seen him stop jobs until this is done. :amazed:
Fukin elf and safety trying to justify their jobs again...
Fraid so. He's keen as with the LOLA & PUWER regs, but a bit clueless with the rest. :laugh:

He dont use a Ginney Wheel and Rope to pull stuff up...
He uses Razor Wire throws it over a sticking out tube and ties the wire around his Testicles, runs at full speed (apparently 220 mph) away from the Scaffold, until the Beams fly up!
Thats what he dont me anyway, just after throwing up a Bag of 65 Gravloks, to his mate 21 lifts up onto the top lift of the Scaffold.

I thought he just stared at them & puffed his chest out till they run away & did as they were told. That's the power of that man, even 21" ladder beams wilt under him.

some querries in mind regarding gin wheel, what is the max standard to hoist by gin wheel,
it is indicated on WLL marked on gin wheel or any other consideration/scaff standard.

The SWL (Safe Working Load) must be clearly marked on the gin wheel. Should be tested to four times that i.e 1,000 kgs. Generally 50kg is the maximum when used for scaffolding although I worked on one project where they limited it to 25 kg.
