Hi Does anybody have any views on lifting a completed scaffold using lifting gear? Scenario is this a tower scaffold is built to gain access to a work station at 6mtrs in height when the work on the unit is complete the scaffold requires to be moved in order to move the unit to the next stage of fabrication. Another unit is put in place and the scaffold is put back in place using an overhead crane. The scaffold is re inspected and the scaff tag reinstated. The scaffold is never lifted more than a minimal height and moved a minimal distance. The scaffold is lifted by the standards with re inforcement at the joints. I would view this as any lifting operation i.e. load to be lifted must be assessed, a safe system of work developed and a lift plan put in place. Any views, comments, observations welcome
