● scaffold mobile towers are
always safer than ladders for
working above ground.
Trestles which are higher than 3.5m for boards 50mm thick.7
Correct procedure for erecting long extension ladder. The tower built slotting the sections
together until the required height reached.5m from the working
platform, trestles may not used. The boards which form the working platform should
be equal length and not overhang the trestles more than four times
their own thickness.

folding boards provide simple working platform. least one-third the trestle must
be above the working platform.8 shows trestle scaffold.3m for boards 40mm thick
