A scaffold built above the 3 to 1 rule must be effectively guyed or secured to a building or structure to prevent overturning.With a rolling scaffold or free-standing tower, the platform height must not exceed three times its smallest base dimension (3 to 1 rule).All joints must be pinned on rolling scaffolds and free-standing towers. If uplift could cause the components to separate, locking pins must be used and the components Uplift might be caused by the action of wind on a secured deck or by the leverage action of a cantilever side bracket on the scaffold.The frames must be plumb and level and spaced to adequately support the.Adjustable base plates must be adjusted within the limits specified by the manufacturer or.The sill must be sound, rigid, and capable of supporting the maximum loads without settlement or Sills and base plates are required on any soil or unstable ground condition, or where any levelling adjustment is needed.
