How many faults....................Scaffolding in Dubai ship yard....:eek:
 
From what I can see in photo:
No face bracing.
Inadequate ledger bracing.
Gaps in boarded platform (and probably not secured).
Toeboard not secured.
Triple guardrails usually required offshore or for overside work.
Hoses hanging at access to scaffold.
No ladder down to scaffold or over existing guardrails.
No face bracing on "horse".
Can't see how horse is held down or if it has a kicker lift but it should be fully braced and anchored down or loaded with kentledge.
Can't see any check fittings on rakers.
Inside droppers supported off tubes (although that would probably be OK for this size of scaffold).
Probably missed a few but its a start!
 
Can't be much wrong with it seeing as it's still hanging there...
 
Better than half the shiit built over here
All kidding aside it will probably be welded to the deck it's 3 boards wide and in a shipyard in Dubai built by Indians or Nepalese for a Philippine welder,do you think that the welder is going to moan about it not being built to British standards. ;)
 
The main hanging fault is that the man that erected it wasn't hung from it.

If hanging was introduced for erecting a below standard job there would be a lot more job vacancies in the UK.

I thought the overseas training card was supposed to improve the standards over there?

I still want to know where the minimum 6 standards in a hanger came from.:confused:

CITB advanced course ,

Minimum 6 hangers in the the unlikely event that 2 fail
 
So there should be 6 standards in one of hswt 8ft towers.....In the unlikely event that 2 standards should fail....lol
 
I have never seen it written down anywhere in any guidance book or standard. But the boys that I called old school always recommend it as a safety margin. CITB training recommends installing 6 a safety factor should any one dropper fail. If you use four most likely it will work fine, but if one of the legs fails top or bottom......well no one would build a hanger with three droppers,.....or would they. Here they don't have cowboys, but they do have Indians...........and that's who built the job in the photo
