Alert: Suspended Work Platform Safe Use, Maintenance & Inspection
[ 156 KB | Download Adobe Reader ]The purpose of this alert is to provide information about the safe use, maintenance and inspection of suspended work platforms and control measures to minimise the risks associated with using this equipment. This alert is intended to increase awareness of the safety requirements for using suspended work platforms but does not replace the need to fully evaluate the nature of the equipment being used and the work being performed in order to comply with the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) and its regulations.
The most commonly used suspended work platforms (suspended platforms or suspended scaffolds) are known as swing stages. They are used for window cleaning or conducting repairs to the exterior of buildings and consist of a work platform, guardrails and a suspension system.
Multi Point Suspended Scaffolds are specialized suspended work platforms that have specific design and operational requirements in Sections 142.1 to 142.8 of O. Reg. 213/91 (the ?¡ãConstruction Regulation"). Anyone using this type of equipment must comply with the OHSA and Construction Regulation to ensure safe use.
The Ministry of Labour will continue its targeted inspections of construction worksites where there is a risk of falls, to ensure compliance with the OHSA and its regulations, over the winter of 2010.
Hazard
The most significant hazard associated with swing stages is workers falling from height. Some of the reasons why a fall may occur include:
- the swing stage over-turning because the counterweight does not have the adequate weight or if the ?¡ãfulcrum?¡À or point of support at the edge of the building fails; or
- the swing stage collapsing because it is overloaded, the platforms are inadequately attached (in case of modular type stages), or there is damage from exposure to chemicals or corrosive material to the motors, platforms or wire ropes to which the stage is suspended, in addition to poor maintenance.
Hazard Controls and Legal Requirements
Under the OHSA, employers and supervisors are required to take every precaution reasonable in the circumstances to ensure the health and safety of workers.
- Proper training
Workers working on a suspended platform or suspended scaffold who may use a fall protection system must receive comprehensive fall protection training (Construction Regulation, section 26.2) and must receive:
- training on the use and inspection of the platform or scaffold, including access to and egress from it; and
- training on the erection and dismantling procedures where the workers are involved in these activities.
- Wearing of a fall arrest system when working on suspended equipment
A worker who is on or is getting on or off a suspended platform or suspended scaffold must wear a full body harness:
- that is connected to a fall arrest system with an independent lifeline, or
- that is securely fastened to the suspended platform or suspended scaffold, if all or part of the platform or scaffold has more than one independent means of support and the platform or scaffold is so designed, constructed and maintained that the failure of one means of support will not cause the collapse of all or part of the platform or scaffold. (Construction Regulation, section 141 and OHSA, section 28(1)(b)).
- Proper design, construction and use of equipment
- Every swing stage (suspended platform or suspended scaffold) must meet all the applicable requirements of the Construction Regulation and specifically sections 137 and 138.
- The platform must not be overloaded (Construction Regulation, section 31(3) and 134(3)).
- Equipment must be maintained in a condition that does not endanger a worker (Construction Regulation, section 93(1)).
- Equipment must be used in accordance with any operating manual issued by the manufacturers (Construction Regulation, section 93(3)).
- In addition to the above requirements, every suspended scaffold that consists of more than one platform, and every suspended platform that weighs, together with its components, more than 525 kilograms, must be designed by a professional engineer and erected in accordance with the design drawings. A professional engineer must inspect it prior to its first use and issue a written report in regard to the inspection. The Constructor must keep a copy of the design drawings and the professional engineer?¡¥s written inspection report on the project while the suspended platform or suspended scaffold is on the project. (Section 139 of the Construction Regulation).
- Adequate maintenance of equipment, materials and protective devices
- Employers must ensure that the equipment, materials and protective devices are maintained in good condition, (OHSA, section 25(1)(b)).
- Suppliers of machines, devices, tools or equipment under any rental, leasing or similar arrangement must ensure that the items are maintained in good condition, if it is the supplier?¡¥s responsibility under the rental, leasing or similar arrangement to do so (OHSA, section 31).
- Proper inspection of equipment by a competent worker and by the supervisor
- Suspended platforms or suspended scaffolds must be inspected prior to each day?¡¥s use by a competent worker (Construction Regulation, section 137(11)) if it is operated by mechanical power and at least once a week by the supervisor or a competent person appointed by the supervisor (Construction Regulation, sections 14(2) and 15(2)).
- Best Practices
The following standards provide best practices for the design, maintenance, inspection and testing of suspended platforms.
- CSA Z271 - Safety Code for Suspended Elevating Platforms section 7.5 outlines recommended inspections and tests for suspended platforms.
- CSA Z271 - Safety Code for Suspended Elevating Platforms section 7.5.5 recommends that structural components of suspended platforms be tested and inspected at intervals not exceeding 12 months.
- The following two CSA standards should be considered in the design, maintenance and repair of aluminum suspended platforms.
- Welded Aluminum Construction W59.2-M1991 (R2008)
- Strength Design in Aluminum / Commentary on CSA S157-05, Strength Design in Aluminum CAN/CSA-S157-05/S157.1-05 (R2010)
When inspecting and testing all components of a suspended platform including welds, stirrups, connecting pins, connecting plates, trusses, beams and working surface, it is recommended that such testing be done by a professional engineer or a competent worker designated in writing by a professional engineer, using appropriate testing methods in the circumstances which may include non-destructive testing methods recognized by the Canadian General Standards Board.

The using method of manual powered suspended platform
The manual high operation powered suspended platform adopts domestic and international advanced technology, comparing to other similar products, its features of simple operation, safe and reliable, saving investment and high efficiency. It is mainly suitable for external wall work of lower building, etc.
Before installation, firstly check the lever gourd that if it runs stable and pull continuously former pole and reversed pole to look if the equipment runs flexible in scope of activities. Does there are some jam phenomenon appear? And also should check the security handle and inspect if it runs stable. Do not forget that when we operate the suspended power platform, workers must tie the safety belt.
Exterior works of high rise building include building cleaning, exterior wall cleaning, curtain wall clean, high-rise exterior wall paint and aerial advertising installation etc. This article mainly introduces the application of suspended work platform in high rise external wall cleaning.
According to the characteristics of high-rise building, the main equipments that are used in exterior wall cleaning include three kinds as below:
1. Building Maintenance Unit, also is called BMU
2. Temporary Suspended Platform or Swing stage(click here for more details)
3. Bosun's chair
The BMU is a special equipment for exterior wall cleaning of high-rise building. Its main usage is cleaning exterior wall of modern high-rise building, which change the traditional suspended work operation into automatic, efficient, high quality mechanical operation. It is the latest generation of powerful exterior wall cleaning robot, and fills up the blank from domestic to overseas in high-rise building exterior wall maintenance. In China, some of senior high-grade constructions, which were built in 80-1990s, were designed by foreign architects and they had considered the installation of BMU since then and adopted abroad BMU to maintenance building. These efforts have laid a good foundation for building cleaning. But since 1990s, there are many buildings had not considered the application of BMU when they were designed and some of them can not be installed BMU, at the same time, BMU does not belong to standard products and also often bring higher cost, all of those lead to BMU has not been widely used nowadays.
Because of Bosun's Chair's flexibility, it has been widely adopted in the world. However, as its risk in operation and often brings accidents, the Bosun's Chair has been more and more replaced by suspended work platform. We believe this is a tendency of development. Now, in China, many cities have already stipulated that in aerial work cleaning, workers must use suspended work platform and forbid to use Bosun's Chair , to avoid more accidents happening.
The suspended work platform is a new type of aloft working machinery. Because of it's operate smoothly, comfort, safety, energy saving etc, it has been widely used in domestic decoration and cleaning industry.
The main materials of exterior wall include glass curtain wall, Aluminum composite plate, marble, granite, mosaic, ceramics, drying sticky stone, granitic plaster stone and so on. Due to the dust, grease and erosion caused by acid rain (fog), the new buildings become smudgy easily in short time, especially in some serious air pollution cities.
According to the weight-bearing ability, the suspended work platform can be divided into 1000kgs, 800kgs, 600kgs, 500kgs and 250kgs etc. According to the length of platform, it contains 10m,7.5m,6m,4m,2m and so on. The length of platform can be assembled to suit for different requests. Now the main types that are usually used in cleaning industry include ZLP630 and ZLP250 and the length ranged from 6 to 10 meters is more popular.
Preparation work before construction
1. Check the work site and assure the plan.
Check the roof condition and ensure that it can be installed suspended work platform and sure the movement has no obstacle like neon lights and billboard. The engineers design construction plan.
2. To ensure the construction environment without wind, snow and high temperature, low temperature phenomenon. The wind in site should less than 6 levels.
3. Prepare cleaning tools such as bucket, gun, towels and sucker etc.
4. Two workers carry cleaning tools, get into platform cradle and fasten safety belts.
Do safety inspection before operation.
1. To check the each parts in suspended work platform(swing stage), for exam, if the fasteners, fittings, hoister, and safety protection devices in good state and confirm no hidden dangerous before work.
2. To check whether the suspension mechanism installed on roof, fasteners, drawing rope are firm and confirm no hidden trouble in operation.
3. To check the length of safety rope and see if there were any damage or broken stocks on it.
4. Fixed the safety rope and confirm the length is more than building height.
5. To check the insurance belt employee used no damage.
6. To check if the safety lock are flexible and reliable.
7. To check if the fixed position where the safety rope joined on the top of building is firmly.
8. To check if the staff dresses meet the following requirements: wearing a helmet and wearing long-sleeved work jacket and long pants. In corrosive environment, let workers wear corrosion-resistant clothes and shoes with soft bottom, which also features of corrosion-resistant.
9. To check if the junction between safety rope and building parapet has the liners. If found no, we shall be stop working immediately.
10. The employee's self-lock device installed on insurance belt should be knotted on safety rope, not buckle in suspended platform.
11. Please set up the fence in operation area and arrange one ground security officer to preventing pedestrians.
If no security officer or protecting fence, we should stop the work.
12. Check the attitude of workers who operate in top of buildings, if have some problems, stop working.
Operation process
1. Use water gun to wash corners and remove dust.
2. Dip spreader into barrels and after it fully absorb sanitizer, we smear evenly on the surface of glass. Later use wiper
scrape glass up and down including window frame and corners. Ensure to pull crossly and no miss some small place and then use towel dry it.
3. After finishing one position, let the platform move to the below site and when end the cleaning from top to bottom, we turn left or right to adjacent position and continue to work from top to bottom again.
4. After finishing total work, sorting machines and tools and remove fences and billboard and clean the water on ground.
5. Cleaning and maintenance equipments and after removing dust and dirt we pack the device in warehouse.

How To Get A Job As A High Rise Window Cleaner
Step 1
Look around your city in the early morning and you'll see high rise window washers at work up on the tall buildings. The job of a high rise window washer is not for the faint of heart but offers good pay and the chance to work outdoors. There is a growing need for more employees in the field as new high rise buildings are built every year. High rise or skyscraper window washers or cleaners must be certified to work for most companies.
Training in the courses of Suspended Scaffolds and as a High Rise Specialist are taught by the IWCA, or the International window Cleaning Association and prepare window cleaners to work on high rise buildings.
Step 2
Check your yellow pages and Google "high rise window cleaning" in your area. If you are interested in a job as a high rise window cleaner, are not afraid of heights and are in good physical condition, you should contact a local high rise window cleaning company in your area and inquire about job openings. Also see IWCA's site for a list of members.
Some companies will pay for your training after you are hired. Others may want you to pay for and attend training before interviewing. Since most high rise window cleaning companies now conform to the new ANSI/IWCA I-14 Window Cleaning Safety Standard, you will be taking a variety of courses. Such courses include Safety Basics and Planning, Rope Descending Systems and Suspended Scaffolds, Ladder Safety, Worksite Assessment, Fall Protection, Proper equipment maintenance, Safe chemical use and more.
Step 3
Be prepared to work non traditional work weeks. High rise window washers may work odd hours, when weather conditions permit. When not on a job they will work to maintain and inspect powered platforms and scaffolding equipment back at the shop, among other duties.
While the job of high rise or skyscraper window washer / cleaner is not for everyone, it offers you a unique view on the world and a type of freedom not found on the other side of the glass you will be cleaning.

Facing so many suspended work platforms manufacturers and suppliers, buyers always find it is hard to choose right company whose products suit their production requirements. Now we make brief introduction to help you to find the best and suitable suppliers in China.
1.How to Filter Manufacturers
At present, Chinese manufacturers can be divided into four categories:
(1) Well-known brand manufacturer
------which has completely independent intellectual property rights and comprehensive design and manufacturing capabilities. Such manufacturers often have 20 years manufacturing experiences and there are about two or three such enterprises in China. Their technology is advanced and the quality of product can be fully guaranteed, in addition, their spare parts and after-sales support services also can be guaranteed, but the price is slightly higher.
(2)General brand manufacturer
------ with full manufacturing capabilities, but do not have the intellectual property.
There are five to eight of these manufactures in China and they commonly have 5 years manufacturing experiences. The suspended power platform supplied by these companies is not advanced, mainly copying from the Well-known brand manufacturer , but the quality should be OK, relatively stable, and can meet the application needs, the price is slightly lower.
(3)Assembly manufacturers
------only manufacture key parts by themselves, and do not have the intellectual property rights, do not have have the design capability.
In China there are more than 20 such manufacturers, They are mainly the key parts processing suppliers for the well-known brand manufacturers before. Their quality of some products is ok, the price is lower, but the stability of equipments is not strong and their supply of spare parts and after -sales services are not fully guaranteed because such companies maybe change to other filed at any time.
(4)Assembly manufacturers
-------which only produce structure constituent and buy key parts from others.
Such enterprises mostly located in Hebei, Henan, Tianjin, Chongqing and other places. Such companies rely entirely on sales of low-quality products and cheap to maintain, the price is low, their products can not be guaranteed in aspect of using life and safety. So we advise clients do not buy products from such manufacturers.
How to choose the correct model of suspended powered platform
(1)Rental companies can choose type ZLP800, ZLP800A, ZLP630 and ZLP630B. For curtain wall construction application, we recommend
ZLP800. for the application of coating or insulating construction, we recommend ZLP630.
(2) The companies who do curtain wall and construction of stone cladding could choose ZLP800 and ZLP800A which feature of big load and high efficiency.
(3)The companies who do coating or insulating construction can choose ZLP630 and ZLP630B. Those types do not only can meet loading requirement, but also feature of shift flexibility and easy of construction.
(4)The company who do cleaning and decoration aerial work can choose type ZLP500 and ZLP250, which characterized by light and flexible and easy operation.
(5)As to some special operation like bridges, ships and chimneys maintenance, we can choose customized suspended work platform to finish some targeted work.
