Safe Practice
Access Solutions
takes safety seriously. All scaffolding is supplied accompanied
by the following safe practice guidelines:
- Any tower erected up to and over a height of 5m MUST be
erected by a ticketed scaffolder.
- Mobile towers are intended for use on a hard, flat surface
(maximum slope 5 deg ….i.e. approx. 1 in 12).
- Avoid power lines (minimum clearance 4m . . . consult local
electricity authority).
- Keep working platforms and landings clear of material and
debris.
- Do not attach containment sheeting or banners to freestanding
towers.
- Additional precautions should be taken to ensure stability
of the tower in windy or gusty conditions.
- All couplers or fittings used must be compatible with 50.8mm
O/D tude.

- The tower is level and all castor are locked.
- All frame legs are load-bearing and correctly seated on
castor sleeves/screw jacks.
- Outriggers (where used) are correctly fitted and adjusted
and bearing on a hard flat surface.
- When moving a Mobile Tower always ensure that:
- The scaffold is unoccupied and all items are removed or
secured.
- All castors are unlocked and aligned in the direction of
travel.
- Avoid slab edges and other step downs (minimum clearance
approx. 1m).
- Always lock castor when finished . . . never leave a mobile
tower unattended without locking the castors.
