Designers also have duties relating to hazardous manual tasks and design registration that need to be considered in relation to the above duties.  \nThe design of the scaffold system must first incorporate appropriate allowances and any necessary risk mitigation involving:  \n• Construction techniques that impact on the scaffolding, such as the need to free stand above highest constructed floor levels, need for screening etc.  \n• Any limitations on the magnitude and locations of stacked materials and other loadings  \n• Limitations on the use of permanent structures for the restraining of scaffolding  \n• Setting out of the base scaffold to accommodate the scaffolding needs as it goes up  \n• Restraints on the ability to place ties and the use of tie types  \n• Sequence of use  \n• Information about the foundation which is relevant to the design of the footings for the scaffolding assembly  \nThe design must also have adequate height and edge protection – it must have appropriate midrails, guardrails and toe boards in accordance with requirements in Laing O’Rourke Primary Standard Working at Heights.  \n• Suspended scaffolds must be designed by a suitably qualified and experienced engineer  \n• The method of fixing the suspension needles is to be clearly shown on a detailed drawing that has been certified by an engineer  \n• Engineer certification that the suspension needles, parapets, roof structure or other parts of the structure can support the outriggers  \n• The suspension system and the cradle should be designed to withstand 1.25 times the stalling load applied by all scaffold hoists in use  \n2.0 DESIGN DOCUMENTATION  \nThe design of scaffolding must always be compliant with the applicable standards including AS/NZS1576, AS/NZ1577 and AS/NZ4576 .  \nWithin Australia, prefabricated scaffolding must be design registered with the regulator.  \nDesign documentation must include the following:  \n• Plans, elevations and sections sufficient to depict the general arrangement of the scaffolding and to identify and locate all members and components, including bracing and ties  \n• Details sufficient to fully describe important or unusual features in the design  \n• Reference to documentation for proprietary items  \n• Information on the areas of work platforms designed to carry loads  \n• Information regarding allocations for the installation of loading platforms  \n• The sequence of erection and dismantling  \n• The design assumptions, including as appropriate horizontal impact, wind loads and loads from stacked materials  \n• Footing design assumptions, such as foundation material description, safe bearing value, limitations etc.  \n• Plans for access stairs installed, complete with meshing where there is a risk of falling tools/materials, capable to take a stretcher where other means of manual rescue is not possible  \n• Verification of the ground bearing capacity to suit the imposed loads  \nDesign documentation must then be:  \n• Certified by a qualified scaffold engineer for all scaffolds where there is a risk of fall of 4m or more or complex/non-standard in nature or as identified in risk assessment / planning  \n• Kept at site offices, or in a document management system  \nBefore altering scaffold structure:  \n• The scaffolding contractor must obtain further design analysis and obtain ","cbCaiqrLpYAj35Vu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqrLpYAj35Vu","pdf",248450,"English","# PURPOSE AND SCOPE\n# 1.0 SAFE DESIGN OF SCAFFOLD\n# 2.0 DESIGN DOCUMENTATION","[{\"question\":\"What responsibilities does the designer have for scaffold safety?\",\"answer\":\"The designer must carry out or arrange calculations, analysis, testing, or examination needed for safe design, and provide adequate results and conditions to ensure the structure has no risks to health and safety.\"},{\"question\":\"What risk mitigation elements must be considered in scaffold design?\",\"answer\":\"The design must incorporate allowances and risk mitigation for construction techniques, limitations on stacked materials and other loadings, restrictions on using permanent structures for restraint, base setting as the scaffold rises, tie placement and tie types, sequence of use, and relevant foundation information for footings.\"},{\"question\":\"What must scaffold design documentation include and how is it managed?\",\"answer\":\"Documentation must include plans, elevations, sections, details for important or unusual features, references for proprietary items, platform loading areas and allocations, erection/dismantling sequence, design assumptions and loads, footing assumptions, and access stair information with tool/material fall protection.
