Where there are additional hazards on site, these are to be documented at the bottom of the Job Safety Analysis sheet.

SAFE WORK METHOD STATEMENT & JSA

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

INCOMPLETE WORK

STRENGTHENING OF STRUCTURAL MEMBERS

• Any portable electrical equipment used must be suitable for the intended use and used as outlined in the manufacturers specifications.

• The use of battery/cordless tools that do not require a 240 Volt AC power supply are preferred.

• In the event that the installation of the Lower Roof Walkway System has not been completed, Buildsafe “Scaffold Incomplete” signs are to be erected at ALL Access Points to restrict the use of the Scaffold.

• The Supervisor, Builder and/or Principal Contractor needs to be notified.

• Do not try and strengthen structural members to resist design live loads without first consulting with your supervisor. The Buildsafe Lowwer Roof Walkway System has been tested and engineered to the specifications as outlined in this Installation Manual, any members that are strengthened may not be engineered to support the System.

• The Lower Roof Walkway must be installed in accordance with the Lower Roof Walkway Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS).

• To identify all potential safety hazards prior to commencing the install, a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) must be completed in your iForm application on your iPad.

• This information must be communicated to all Installers and Install Assistants before commencing installation. Refer to SWMS - 0007 - Lower Roof Walkway - Search for this document on your iPad

APPLICATION

• Installers are advised to familiarize themselves with the statutory requirements of their state regarding occupational health and safety legislation, scaffolding and working at heights.

• These requirements may have stricter regulations and may override the Australian Standards.

• Installers are to ensure the Lower Roof Walkway is installed safely and is compliant.• The Void Platform System needs to be installed in accordance with the Australian

Standards and Work Place Health & Safety as well as the Buildsafe Lower Roof Walkway Installation Manual and Buildsafe Void Platform Safe Work Method Statement.


Inspection and Handover

SIGNAGE & REQUIREMENTS

• The Lower Roof Walkway System requires certain signage to be installed to be deemed compliant and fit for use.

• As per the Australian Standards the person responsible for the erection of the Lower Roof Walkway System (the Installer) must provide the relevant person or principal contractor with a Handover Certificate at the completion of the install.

• A Handover Certificate is to be kept on site until the Lower Roof Walkway System has been dismantled.

• An Electronic Installation Report is also to be completed on the iPad.

• All components of the Lower Roof Walk System must be inspected for possible damage that could cause the system to fail. Refer to 3.3 Maintenance Control

INSPECTION BEFORE ASSEMBLY

INSPECTION FOR HANDOVER

2.4 Re-inspection

• Where the Lower Roof Walkway has been altered or damaged after the initial installation and hand over, it will need to be re-installed in accordance with Buildsafe’s instructions, and reissued with a new hand over certificate.

RE-INSPECTION

MAINTENANCE CONTROL

As per the Australian Standards the design of Buildsafe equipment shall be such that following typical use, it shall be capable of being maintained and repaired, to ensure that it will perform to its design capacity.

Lower Roof Walkway components need to be checked prior to install to ensure they are deemed satisfactory for use.

The Buildsafe Lockout ProcedureIn the event you find damaged components, apply following:1. Mark Red with paint or tape and2. Place directly in the Repair Bins or3. Put aside on site to be placed in the repair bins back at the branch.

The component will then be assessed to determine whether it will be repaired or scrapped.If repaired, the red marking must be removed before the component can be allowed back into service.

Where possible equipment is to be checked for damage when components are:1. Loaded onto a stillage2. Removed from a stillage3. Installed 4. Dismantled5. Returned to the Truck or stillage.

It is the responsibility of every person who handles the components to visually inspect them for damage.

Using this procedure we will significantly reduce the chance of faulty equipment being installed on site.

The Lower Roof Walkway Maintenance Manual details how to check that each component is fit for use and includes instructional videos on items that are repairable at a Branch and how to repair them.

It is available on the Ops Manual


Job Planning

Risk Assessment

Before any work is to be started on a site where we are installing the Lower Roof Walkway, a ‘Pre Start Risk Assessment’ (herein referred to as a Job Safety Analysis - JSA) is to be completed.

This is a checklist outlining if the site is safe for us to proceed with the installation.Any additional hazards not listed on the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) sheet should be documented in the space provided and a suitable control measure implemented..

Job Planning

The following matters shall be considered, when planning to install Lower Roof Walkway Systems

• Location of the access points.• Roof edge height.• Roof depth.• Roof cladding material and the need for fallguard.• What the platform is predominately to be used for.• Interference with under roof material (e.g., mesh, sarking membranes, close board

ing).• Rafter/truss length and pitch. • Condition of building structure and building materials.• Proximity to power lines.• Access to site/building.• Any other relevant information that will assist in planning the job.


Structural Information

The installer must determine that the building structure is suitable for Lower Roof Walkway and that all frames are adequately braced.

Site Conditions

On larger/commercial sites, provision might be made for the delivery, unloading or storage of Lower Roof Walkway . Always follow site instructions.

Harness use

In some cases there may be a need to use a harness and anchor points to complete an installation of Lower Roof Walkway. A fall restraint setup is to be used, which will stop the installer from going near the edge of a roof.

Only licensed and competent people are to use a harness and set up anchor points.


Configuration & Components

Location Lower Roof Walkway must be attached in a manner and location that complies with Buildsafe’s installation and dismantling procedures at all times

Lower Roof Walkway Components and Configuration.

The positioning of Lower Roof Walkway components shall comply with the following standards:

• Guardrails of prefabricated Lower roof walkway shall be installed at the height specified by Buildsafe setout heights, subject to an effective height above the plat form surface of between 900 mm and 1100 mm.

• The minimum width of the platform should be no less than 450mm (two planks)• Note: minimum 3 Planks in Qld - if required as a catch platform.• Where mid rails are used, the nominal clear distance between rails shall not exceed

450 mm. (Page 50 - A-12) • The nominal clear distance between a mid rail and a toe board, kick plate or bottom

rail shall be not more than 275 mm. (Page 50 - A-12)• The nominal clear distance between a bottom rail and the upper surface of the

Lower Roof Walkway shall be not less than 150 mm or greater than 275 mm.


• Every rail must be supported by a min. of 2 points.• Max span of rail between 2 points - 3.6 metres.• Max span of planks between 2 points - 3.6 metres.• Max cantilever of rail to a corner - 2.1m.• Where there is no return on a corner, 2 stop ends must be utilized to restrict a

person from falling from the platforms end.• All hand rails are to be continuously connected (tied together) utilizing rail joiners.• The gap between the inside surface of the Lower Roof Walkway and the face or exterior wall frame should be no greater than 225mm.• If the gap between the inside surface of the Lower Roof Walkway and the face of the

exterior wall is greater than 225mm, then the gap should be closed off to no more than 225mm.

• The Lower Roof Walkway is a light duty working platform and is not to be used to store materials.

Our system will only ever be as good as the structure we are fixing to.

System Profiles & SetupsThe following pictures will help you to understand the loads exerted on the different brackets and the different configurations they can work under.

• The brackets have been tested by an engineer and passed under all conditions.• The brackets have been tested for outward force on the rail and downward force on the

different roof cladding materials. • The knuckle on the pitch bracket was set to maximum height for each test.

Typical Pitch Bracket Assembly

The typical setup of the pitch bracket is portrayed onto a tin roof.The existing roof screws were used in the testing. The bracket was screwed to steel battens.

Force

Force

Key

Forces on Rail

Forces on Platform

Force was applied to the platform and the rail and the bracket passed both times.The forces applied to each part of the bracket carry through to the feet and the battens. Make

sure the screws are in solidly and not threaded.


Tiled Roof Pitch Bracket AssemblyInstalling the pitch bracket onto a tiled roof can add pressure to the tiles.

This may cause some weaker tiles to break. Do not over tighten the tile lock.

Key

Forces on Rail

Forces on Platform

Tile lock using rafter

Tile lock using rail

• Above: Where the tile lock is located, the roof tile has been moved up to accommodate the tile lock through the roof cavity.

• The bracket is secured to the roof with a length of rail spanning a minimum of 2 rafters (See inset picture).

• Another configuration of the tile lock is straight onto the rafter, if it is located where the bracket is to be installed.

• As the bracket uses the battens underneath the tiles to support the feet, it is essential that the feet are positioned over the battens.


Rafter Pitch Bracket Assembly

Installing a pitch bracket to bare rafters is possible on 600 mm centred rafters as the feet are 670mm wide.

Rafter Centres that are more than 600 mm wide will require extra battening out to support the feet of the bracket.

500 mm Max. Extension

Key

Forces on Rail

Forces on Platform

• It is important, when installing pitch brackets onto rafters, that 1 x 75mm screw is fixed to one end of the front foot and a 50 mm screw to the other end of the foot.

• When a force is applied to the handrail, the front foot transfers the force upwards, hence the need for a 75 mm screw in one side of the foot.

• The front may only be extended a maximum 500mm out from the body of the bracket.• Make sure the rafters you are screwing to are of robust construction with no splits or large

knots in the wood. • Ensure that the rafters are solidly fixed to the frame of the building, with triple grips or

nails, before installing any brackets.


Rafter Tail Pitch Bracket Assembly

• The pitch bracket has been tested and passed for attaching to a rafter tail.• The forces on the rafters applied down through the bracket are mainly pushing down

through the top plate.

Key

Forces on Rail

Forces on Platform

Before we attach a pitch bracket to any rafter tails, some factors need to be considered before it is safe to do so.

• The rafters must be of good quality timber.• There must be no knots or splits in the rafters.• The rafter tail over hang must be a maximum of 600 mm.• In this configuration, the standard on the bracket should be pushed all the way forward. This would put more pressure on the front foot thus taking pressure off the back foot.• If there are concerns with the quality of the timber, prop the rafter tail with an acro prop

to strengthen it.

Typical Terminator Assembly

The typical terminator assembly has been configured on a blank rafter roof for this example.As with the pitch bracket, the terminator has been fixed in place, with at least 1 x 75mm screw

to the top foot on the inside.The forces applied to a terminator are easier to understand.

500 mm Min. Apart

• The terminator feet are the same width as the pitch bracket so it can span 600mm.• The force that is applied to the platform runs straight down, through the spigot and plank

step, and onto the feet.• The force applied to the hand rail applies an upward force onto the inside runner, thus

pulling on the inside of the feet, thus the need for one 75mm screw on the inside of the top foot.

• The same forces are also applied when fixing the bracket to a tin roof. Ensure the screws don’t thread the battens.

Forces on Platform


Tile Cladding Terminator Assembly

When the terminator is fixed to a tile cladded roof, a tile lock is used as with the pitch bracket.

The only exception is that it is locked onto a terminating tile lock bar, which attaches to the runners of the bracket.

• Terminator feet must be positioned over the battens, which run under the tiles.• The same care must be taken when tightening the tile lock so the tiles don’t crack and

break.• The tile lock can also be configured to be attached to the inside runner of the terminator.• The tile lock must be attached to the inside runner, as this is where all the force is being

applied when force is put on the rail.

• 5 each x Fallguard brackets• 5 x Rail brace posts• 5 x Super posts• 5 x Corner posts• 20 x Scaffold 90 degree couplers (90’s)• Various short lengths of rail (1 m, 1.5 m)• Spare parts for pitch brackets• Spare parts for terminating brackets• Orange and yellow rail joiners • 50 mm screws • 75 mm screws • “L” and “T” bolts• Post spigots• Corner plank ties• Plank steps• Tile locks• Super post extensions• Spare bolts and plank tabs for post spigots and plank steps• Spare bolts for corner plank ties• Internal plank clamps• Some timber for battening out

Spare Equipment


It is the installer’s responsibility to: • Get all relevant paper work and PDA.• Make sure all components have been loaded correctly. • Make sure all spares are loaded on truck.• Make sure all signs, weather sheets, and handover certificates are stocked up.• Make sure that all people travelling on the truck for the day have all their allocated tools.

The assistants should aid the installer in checking off the equipment that has been loaded against the vehicle picking list and get any extra equipment that is required.

Everyone should make the load safe and strap down the truck

Getting the Truck Ready

All stillages and brackets must be loaded and strapped safely before leaving the yard and any job site.


It is important to remember:• Our clients (and potential clients) are watching. • Buildsafe’s reputation and professionalism is judged solely by your appearance, and how

you conduct yourselves on site.• Be considerate to other trades.

It is not polite to walk onto site without informing the site supervisor/other trades of the work you are about to carry out, or discuss what issues you may cause working around each other.

Parking the Truck

When parking the truck:• Do not park the truck where you will inhibit other trades. • If you need other trades to move their vehicles, ask politely. • Do not park in muddy areas as this will result in the truck becoming bogged.• Do not park the truck on an angle where components will slide off when unstrapped.• Don’t park over neighbouring driveways without permission.• Do not park on nature strips.• Use witches hats when parking on busy roads to warn motorists of hazards.• Park on site (where possible) to minimise walking distances.

Arrival On Site

Request obstructing vehicles be moved; do

not try and carry gear over

>>


Prior to work, the following requirements must be fulfilled:

• Attend a site induction, if necessary. • If a site induction is not required then ensure you are aware of any rules that are specific

for that site, i.e. PPE that must be worn.• Communicate with other trades on site to ensure an easy work enviroment.• A pre start risk assessment must be conducted by the installer to identify any safety

concerns.• These concerns must be relayed to the rest of the team, so that a standard operating

procedure can be developed. • Do not commence work until all hazards have being rectified, or a suitable control

measure is put in place. This includes (but is not limited to) open voids and unprotected edges. Spare equipment is always carried on the truck to control such hazards.

• After all hazards are identified, the installation of any fallguard, quickstage needs to be installed prior to commencing works on the lower roof walkway system.

• If a harness is to be used at any stage for install or dismantle, all persons using harnesses and fitting anchors must hold appropriate licenses.

Pre Start Assessment and Site coordination

Installation of fallguard is required in all situations for the installation of the lower roof walkway system.


Both open voids and unprotected edges can be a potential hazard for installers and assistants.

Any open void or unprotected edges must be protected before commencing work.

• Do not commence work until all hazards associated with open voids and unprotected edges have been rectified.

• Hazardous voids can be protected with spare fallguard brackets and rail.• Any unprotected window and door voids can be protected with timber screwed in at

900mm (minimum) from the floor.

Open voids must be protected to ensure the safety of all Buildsafe staff on site.


When there are other trades working onsite during a product install or dismantle you can use Exclusion Zones to prevent the risk of falling objects onto others.

This also includes working in areas where there are members of the public or home owners.

1. Separate the install or dismantle in two sections and work in only one section at a time

2. Speak with the trades and agree that they can work in one section whilst you are working in the other

3. Advise trades when moving to the next section

It is essential that you have a look at the structure that you are fixing the lower roof walkway to, especially if the system is being installed onto rafters and battens. Refer to the Inspecting House Frames Manual - available on the Ops Manual.

Things to look for are:• Rafters triple gripped and nailed off correctly.• Porches/porticos are propped and supported properly. • Knots in rafter tails that would make the rafter weaker.

Ensure all rafters that brackets are attaching to are structurally sound and nailed off correctly.

Take care when screwing brackets to rafters that have knots and cuts. They will be considerably weaker.


This porch has only been propped with 1 piece of timber not 2 (which is standard).This porch has a high risk of collapsing.

ALERT:


Damaged Property Prior To Installation

• If you notice parts of the house or building damaged before starting an install, then we need to document it with a palm pilot report.

• Let the supervisor of the site know. This will alleviate any issues with who caused what damage as we will have proof that the damage was caused before we started on site.

• The main types of damage we must document are: - Damage to the roof. - Damage to any windows.

• All damage must be documented with the PDA before starting any installations.• The damaged equipment/property report is found under field report in the palm pilot.


Equipment Set Out

Efficient planning and setting out of equipment can greatly speed up an install process.

While the assistants unstrap the truck, the installer:• Should access the upper storey.• Plan where brackets will be positioned.• Note how many brackets and other components are required.• Inform assistants what gear is required to complete the job.

The layout of the site will govern whether the equipment:• Is placed on the ground around the perimeter of the lower roof for passing up onto the

lower roof.• Is placed inside on the ground floor below the stair void (generally a faster process).• Is passed up scaffold (if applicable).

Equipment placed in the void area waiting to be passed up to the first level

Equipment placed around the perimeter ready to be passed up to the installer.


An Installer receiving equipment through a void. Note the void area has been protected with fallguard.

An alternative is to hang the pitch brackets on the rafters. The installer can stand on the bottom chord and lift the bracket into place.


Placing the equipment out

through the frame will make

accessing the equipment easier

for the installer

Void platform decks that are removed to pass equipment up must be returned to make the void area safe again.

After the equipment is passed up the installer can gain access to the lower roof, while the assistant places the equipment out through the frame. This allows the installer to access the equipment and start installing, without having to climb in and out of the frame.

• Not all installations of Lower Roof Walkway will have unfinished walls to place the brackets and other equipment through.

• The equipment can be passed up through the fallguard on the outside, and installed as you go.

As the installer starts installing the brackets the assistant(s) can be getting planks and rail ready. Trying to keep ahead of the installer as they install the brackets will minimise down time and someone always standing around.

These planks have been leaned up against the rail so that when the installer is ready for them he can get the assistant to slide them up

to him.Care must be taken as planks can

blow over easily.

Alternatively the planks can be passed up to the installer.

>>


In some instances when the system is being installed to open trusses, it is possible to stand the planks and rail through the rafters (next to the brackets) so the installer can access them

without having to move too far. This will also ensure the planks and rail won’t fall over.

Stand planks up through the rafters the installer can access them without moving too far.

Standing rail up through the rafters near the platform makes it easier to

install the rail.

Key Points

When installing Lower Roof Walkway there are some key questions that need to be answered:• What is the chosen access point? - Buildsafe Scaffold - Internal Access (window) - Customer Supplied Scaffold - Gate access onto platform from roof• What is the system is being used for? - Rendering requires the system to be (minimum) 300 - 400mm off the wall. - Weatherboard cladding can be closer, but remember trades must still be able to get their tools in. - We can’t set the platform too far away for eave installers as it makes it hard for them to reach all the wall and up under the eave. - Painters need to be able to reach all of the wall easily.• What are the external wall heights?• What are the positions of the ridges and valleys on the lower roof?• What is the overhang of the eaves above the walkway?

Taking time to think ahead and set the brackets in appropriate locations will ultimately set the platform in a good spot for trades to access all areas of the wall and eaves.

By thinking about the trades that have to use the platform you can easily establish where the platform would be best set at.

Platform Settings


The platform has been set too close to the wall, making it hard for renderers to reach into this section of the wall.

X

X


If the wall height is reasonably low, then having the platform out from the wall frame would give trades more room to easily walk around on the platform without bumping their heads

on the gutter above. Preferably 1.5 to 2 planks outside the gutter line depending on the eave length above.

If there is a short section of wall where the platform is to be installed, the platform needs to be 1.5 to 2 planks outside the gutter line so that users can easily walk on the platform

without any obstructions.

Here there are ridges and valleys limiting the space available to fix brackets. The installers have kept the platform low and out from the wall, so trades can reach all areas

of the wall.

X


Generally, the best possible outcome for height and distance off the wall is:

• Having the platform as low as possible to the lower roof, giving trades 300 to 400mm off the wall, making it easier to reach the bottom of the wall.

• Make sure that all trades can reach and access all parts of the wall and eave.


If the platform needs to be set to reach a higher section of the wall, ensure there is enough room (at least 500mm) for trades to step off the platform and reach the bottom of the wall.

See above.

The platform can be used as a bench on low set walls.


When planning where the brackets are to be located on a lower roof, there are some other key points that need to be considered:

• The brackets need to be installed as close as possible to the corners of the walls so that the cantilever to the corners is small, making the system stronger. Normally the biggest cantilever to a corner should be kept at a maximum of 1450mm.

• Alternatively if the platform is to be cantilevered to an unsupported corner, then the planks have to be supported by a minimum of 2 brackets and should not cantilever more than 500mm past the last bracket, or 1150mm with the addition of a floating Transom.

• The brackets should not be placed more than 3.6m apart.

• When setting brackets where there will be steps in the platform, remember that plank steps can be set between 300mm and 500mm.

Please refer to the diagram below for spacings and cantilevers.

• Following are platform setup errors. - These are what to avoid doing when setting the platform. - If the customer isn’t happy with how the platform is set, and/or hinders their work, then we may not get repeat business.

• An old style bracket has been used as the roof where it is fixed is too shallow for a new style pitch bracket.

• The out rigger and the planks have been set too close.• Tradesmen using the platform won’t be able to fit their tools in to attach the cladding.

Planks should be set far enough off the wall so all users can access the wall

easily, but it should be close enough so that eaves can still be easily installed.

Errors in Set Ups


X

In this photo, the planks have been set too close to the ridge on the roof and the flex in the planks has damaged the roof.

This could have been easily avoided.

X• Tied together with 1

metre planks and 2 corner plank ties.

• Left like it is the planks feel unsafe and would be unstable to work off.

• These planks aren’t tied together.

• The planks that run on top should have been moved into the wall.


These planks are set too close to the wall at the end of the platform, making it impossible for renderers to get their foam cladding onto the wall or apply render.

These planks don’t run onto the scaffold making it hard for any tradesmen to gain access to the platform.

The handrail isn’t tied into the scaffold either.

The floating post spigot has been configured so that the spigot is on the internal side of the

planks.

This creates a spearing hazard if someone was to trip and fall.

The spigot will be in the way of accessing the wall easily.

This raking plank set up has no treads on it. If there is moisture on the platform, workers may slip on the planks.

All rail that meets at the apex of a raked platform should be kept short.Leaving the rail longer creates a spearing hazard.

• Rail must be tied into the scaffold. • This will close off any gaps and make

the system look neater. • Top and mid rails are the minimum

that are to be tied in.

All corners that step up must include plank steps to strengthen the corner of the planks.

Installing Pitch Brackets

Part 1 discussed pitch brackets being secured to Colorbond, tiles, Clip Lock , rafters and battened roofs.

This section will outline securing and setting up a pitch bracket to different roof surfaces.


• When installing pitch brackets to blank rafters, or rafters with battens, they are fixed in place with 50mm and 75mm Timber Screws (see page 26).

• The pitch bracket feet are 670mm wide, making it possible to span the 600mm nominal gap between rafters if there are no battens present.

• If the distance between rafters is bigger than 600mm, battens will need to be used to support the bracket feet. Feet must be screwed to at least one rafter with a 75 mm screw, with the opposing end of the foot fixed with a 50 mm screw.

Rafters/Battens

Step 1• Standing on the bottom chord of the rafter, lift the pitch bracket into place.


Step 2• Screw one end of the front foot down using a 75mm screw through to the rafter.• Screw the other end of the front foot to the other rafter or batten with a 50mm screw.

Step 3• Screw the back foot down in the same fashion as the front foot.


• Remove the back brace pipe clip pin.

• Pull up on the top of the standard to ‘open’ the bracket right up.

• Hold onto the pin.

Step 4


Step 5• Insert the transom into the knuckle and lock in place with the lock pin.• The lock pin should be located in a hole in the knuckle below where the transom is

inserted. • This pin is essential in securing the transom in place


Step 6• Holding the knuckle, take lock pin out of the middle of the knuckle and lower the

knuckle to desired location on the standard.• Reinsert the pin through the middle of the knuckle and lock in place with “R” Clip.


Step 7• Level the transom by holding the top of the standard and pushing or pulling until the

transom is flush. • Reinsert the back brace pin. This will lock the standard in place keeping the transom flush

whilst the planks are supported. • Make sure the pin is locked.


Step 9• Make sure the transom is positioned over the top of the front foot, depending on the

wall height, etc.• Measure the distance off the wall at which the transom has been set. If it needs

moving, simply undo the carriage via the 18 mm nuts and slide the carriage up the body, tightening the nuts to hold it in place.

• The transom needs to be set over the top of front foot to stop render and paint, etc. from falling into it.


Step 10• Move the internal plank clamps so they are as wide as possible on the transom. • Setting the internal plank clamps to double plank setting will be beneficial when planks

need to be lifted onto the transom.

Step 11• Before moving on to install the next bracket, re-measure the distance of the transom off

the wall and down from the fascia, ensuring the platform will be set appropriately for the trades using it.

• Remember the measurements so that you know where the next bracket needs to be set.


• Notes for installing Lower Roof Walkway to a Steel Frame Pre Roof

• Position the bracket over a truss

• Fix a 75mm steel screw through the Feet into both the batten and the truss

• Where the fixing point is not over a truss, use a timber nogg inside the batten and fasten with a 50mm steel screw

• Nogg min length 200mm

Truss

75mm steel screw

Steel Frame Pre Roof Install


Step 1• Before lifting the pitch bracket into place you will need to unscrew the screws that you

intend to use for fixing the bracket down with. Keep hold of them. • You will need a minimum of 2 screws in the front foot and 2 in the back.

The pitch bracket is fixed to a Colorbond roof by using the existing roof screws.

• There must be 2 lines of screws present, at least 500mm apart, for you to be able to attach the front and back foot to.

• The screws must be minimum 50 mm in length.• Not screwing the front foot to the top line of screws on the flashings will ensure that it

will not be in the way of any cladding, and ensure trades can get tools in to install their cladding to the wall.

• Care must be taken when walking on Colorbond as it can be easy to dent and scratch. Walking on screw lines can minimise this.

Tin Roof


Step 2• Carefully place the pitch bracket on the roof with the front foot lining up with holes you

intend to use.• Screw the front foot down to the Colorbond with the existing screws.

Do not overtighten the screws as this will thread the batten and render the screws useless


Step 3• At this stage the back foot may need to be adjusted so that the foot holes line up with

the screw holes in the roof.• Loosen the 18mm bolts either side of the main body, this will loosen the clamps

holding the foot in place on the body. • Slide the back foot into place and screw it down.

Do not overtighten the screws as this will thread the batten and render the screws useless.

• Tighten the 18mm bolts to lock the foot in place.

For steps 4 through to 11, follow the same as for installing pitch brackets on rafters and battens.


Clip Lock Roof

When installing pitch brackets on a Klip-lok roof there are no screws for the bracket to be screwed down with. • Lazer pine needs to be fixed to the roof and brackets screwed down to it.• The lazer pine is fixed to the roof via Klip-lok timber anchors.• However, the Klip-lok anchors need to be spaced as to not interfere with the feet of the

bracket when you install them.

Step 1• Place the lazer pine on the clip lock roof at (maximum) 1200mm apart.• You will need 2 lengths; 1 for the front feet of the brackets, and 1 for the back feet of the

brackets.


Step 2• Loosen the Klip-lok clamp and place over one of the ridges.• Make sure the anchor is running as close to the middle of the lazer pine as possible,

then tighten the “L” bolt to hold the anchor in place.• Tighten the clamp via the 18mm bolt to secure the Klip-lok clamp in place.• Do not over tighten the clamp as this will squash the ridge.

Step 3• Tighten the 18mm bolt on the anchor so the lazer pine is pressed down into the roof and

doesn’t move.• Screw the anchor down with 2 x 50mm screws, 1 each side.


Step 4• Once the timber has been secured to the roof, fix the bracket to the timber.• The front and back foot must be secured down with 2 x 50mm screws each. • The wider the screws are fixed on each foot the better the stability of the system will be.

For the rest of the bracket set up, follow steps 4 to 11 for rafter and batten setup.


Tile Roof

• Pitch brackets can be installed onto tiles with the use of a pitch tile lock, with or without a length of rail.

• The tile lock is fixed to the body of the pitch bracket, runs into the roof cavity and locks the pitch bracket to the tiles.

• The tile lock can be locked around a rafter or with a length of rail, secured to the tile lock, spanning over several rafters.

• Care must be taken when walking on tiled rooves as some styles of tiles can break very easily.

There are limitations with installing pitch brackets on tiles. There has to be at least four courses for us to successfully attach the pitch brackets.


Step 1• The tile lock is to run through into the roof cavity.• Lift the tile above, slide the tile up to allow room to fit the tile lock into the roof cavity. • If a sarking membrane is present under the tiles, you must seek permission before cutting

the membrane.


Step 2• Install the top weather sheet, that has no hole in it, under the top tile.

Step 3• Put the pitch bracket in place.• Open the pitch bracket to allow you to get to the main body of the bracket.• The back and front foot may need to be adjusted so they are positioned over the top of

the battens (which are under the tiles).


Step 4• Adjust the tile lock to full length via the 18mm bolt on the top.

Step 4• Insert the tile lock into the roof cavity, locking the top of the tile lock onto the pitch

bracket body by tightening the “L” bolt.• Make sure the tile lock is resting on the lower batten and the front foot keeper is hard

down to the tile lock.• Tighten the “L” bolt to lock it in place.


Step 5• Insert a 1.5 - 2 metre length of rail into the roof cavity and into the hook of the tile lock.

The rail should span underneath a minimum of 2 rafters.• Lock the rail to the hook of the tile lock by tightening the “L” Bolt.• Tighten the 18mm bolt on top of the tile lock, so the rail just engages the rafters.• Leave it slightly loose.

Tip:If a rafter is located directly under the gap made by moving the tiles, it is acceptable to lock the hook on the tile lock directly under, and around, the rafter. The tile lock can be

reconfigured easily to accommodate this by loosening it off and spinning the hook.


Step 6• Secure a weather sheet (with pre cut hole) around the midsection between the two

plates so it doesn’t slip down the tile lock.

Step 7• Pull the top weather sheet down over the

bottom and between the 2 plates.• This will allow water to run from the top

weather sheet, down onto the second, and into the gutter.


For installation of the rest of the bracket follow steps 4 to 11 for rafter/batten pitch bracket install.

Step 7• Tighten the 18mm bolt on top of the tile lock, which will tighten the rail up against the

rafters; securing the bracket to the tiles.• The bracket must be firmly secured to the tiles.• Do not over tighten the tile lock as this will cause the tiles to break.


Installing Terminating Brackets

Terminating Brackets can be used in 2 different ways. With the use of plank steps to step the platform up a pitched roof and with the use of spigots and raking plank treads to “rake” the planks up a pitched roof

A cleverly placed terminating bracket will make it easier to step or rake the platform up and over any ridges or obstructions, allowing you to continue the platform through and keep the whole platform connected.

Remember that the terminating bracket is fully adjustable via the feet and the terminating hinge bar. A plank step or floating post spigot can be adjusted to help keep the planks flush.

If the pitched roof runs right up under the eave, then the terminators need to be set back from the wall. Workers need to move around on the platform and still use it as a bench for their tools when work needs to be conducted in the tighter spots up under the eave.

Key Points

• Terminating feet need to be set minimum 500mm apart from each other.• Plank steps can step the platform up a maximum of 500mm• As per pitch brackets, the maximum span between a supported plank on a

terminating bracket to another terminating bracket (or pitch bracket) is 3 metres.

Two perpendicular pitched rooves can have the platform fitted via two terminators running at 90 degrees to each other.


Terminating bracket feet are the same length as pitch bracket feet. They will span across 2 rafters with the nominal spacing of 600mm.

Per the pitch bracket, terminator feet must be secured to the rafters/battens with 2 screws in each foot, and 1 x 75mm screw to the inside of the top foot through to rafter.

Rafters/Battens

Step 1• Per the pitch bracket setup, put the terminator in place.• Screw the feet in place through to the rafters.• To make the bracket more stable, extend the feet as far apart as practical.


Step 2• Adjust the terminating hinge bar to the desired location.• Remove the pins from the hinges.

Note: in some cases it may be easier to just use the single hinges instead of the hinge bar.Set these so they are lining up with each other and remove the pins.


Step 3• From here you can fit the post spigot or plank step, whichever is required.• Line up the holes on the post spigot (or lower section of the plank step) with the holes in

the hinges of the terminating hinge bar or the terminating hinges.• Insert the pins and lock them off to hold the spigot or plank step in place.

• The bracket is now ready to have planks installed. • Double check all the pins and bolts are secured.


Tin Roof

The terminating bracket can be fixed to Colorbond roofing in the same fashion as the pitch bracket.

• The same configuration of screws applies also; 2 screws in each foot.• Having the screws as wide as possible on the feet will strengthen the system even more.

Step 1

• Remove the existing screws from the roof; as you would for pitch bracket installation.

• Move any feet so they line up with the roofing screw holes.


Step 2

• Screw the roofing screws back down through the foot.

• Do not overtighten the screws as this will render

them useless

Follow step 3 for attaching the post spigots and plank steps as per rafter/batten installation.


Tile Roof

As with the pitch bracket on tiles, the terminator uses the tile lock and weather sheets in the same fashion.

• The terminator uses the terminating tile lock bar to attach the tile lock to the 2 runners of the terminator.

• Alternatively, 1 tile lock can be attached to the inside runner of the terminator.

Step 1

• Move the tile in the same fashion as you would for the

pitch bracket installation.

Step 2

• Insert the top weather sheet.


Step 3

• Put the terminator in place, making sure the feet line up to be over the top of the battens that are under the tiles, as you would for the pitch bracket tile

installation.


Step 4• Secure the terminating tile lock bar to the runners of the terminator, positioning it over

the hole created by moving the tile.

Step 5• Extend the tile lock to full extension.


Step 6• Fit the tile lock to the terminating tile lock bar.• If a rafter is present in the roof cavity then you can simply hook the tile lock around the

rafter, other wise a length of rail spanning minimum 2 rafters must be used.• Tighten the “L” bolt to lock the rail in place onto the tile lock.• Tighten the 18 mm bolt on the tile lock. leave it loose.

Step 7• Fit the weather sheet with the hole cut in it around the tile lock.• Pull the top weather sheet down over the bottom one and in between the 2 plates on the

tile lock. • Tighten the tile lock via the 18mm bolt on top.• Take care not to over tighten the tile lock as this will break the tiles.

Follow step 3 for attaching the post spigots and plank steps as per rafter/batten installation.


Points to remember - Installing Brackets

Brackets installed on rafters/battens need to have:• 2 x 50mm screws in the back foot.• 1 x 50 mm screw and 1 x 75 mm screw (running into a rafter) in the front foot.

The best outcome would be to have all screws screwed to rafters.

• Brackets installed on Colorbond rooves must have 2 screws in each foot, using the pre existing roof screws.

Do not over tighten the screws as this will thread the battens.

• The transom is to be set so the planks will stop any render or paint from falling into the front foot.


• Timber used for Klip-lok roof installations must be anchored with Klip-lok timber anchors, 2 x 50mm screws each side.

• Tile locks can be fitted to both a length of rail spanning 2 rafters, or straight onto a rafter, if it is located in the hole left by moving the tile.


• Make sure the feet of any bracket are positioned over the top of the battens.Do not overtighten tile locks as this will break the tiles.

• Double check that all pins are present and locked in place.• Make sure all “L” and “T” bolts on all brackets are tightened and locked in place.


Key Points

Key points when installing planks to pitch brackets:

• Set plank tabs to double plank setting. This will make installing planks easier.• Determine which planks are going to be on the bottom and which are going to run on top.

Plan ahead, installing the planks that run on the bottom first.• There needs to be a 50mm (minimum) overlap of plank past each transom.

Installing Planks

Planks can run from:• Scaffolding to pitch or terminating brackets.• Pitch bracket to pitch bracket• Pitch bracket to terminating bracket• Terminating bracket to terminating bracket• And can also be raked up a pitched roof.

This versatility gives the Buildsafe system a competetive edge over the competition.

Pitch Bracket to Pitch Bracket


Step 1• Using safe lifting techniques, lift the planks from where they are leaning.• Take care when lifting the planks up against any gutters; make sure the rubber on the

planks is facing the gutter. Be aware of the swing of longer planks; watch above and behind you.


Step 2• Place the planks on the transoms and slide them into place.• This will be easiest on its edge.• Straighten planks so they are neat, and in line with each other.


Step 3• Tighten all plank tabs as you proceed along the platform.


Key Points

• Set the plank tabs (on any spigots or plank steps that are secured to the terminator) to the open setting. This will aid installing the planks.

• Plank steps have an adjustable range of between 300mm and 500mm.• Spigots or plank steps can be adjusted the full length of the terminator via the

terminating hinge bar.

Pitch to Terminating Bracket

Planks can easily run from a pitch bracket to a terminator or some supported planks to a terminator.

Here the planks haven’t been fixed down yet.


Step 1• Set the plank tabs on the spigot or plank step to open.


Step 2• Measure the distance of the transom down from the bottom of the fascia.• Adjust the spigot or plank step to correspond with the same measurement as the

transom planks are running from.


Step 4• Lift the planks into place and tighten all plank tabs.

Never access planks that don’t have handrail attached and secured.


It may be easier to leave the spigot or plank step loose on the terminator, then level the planks by moving the spigot or plank step up or down until the planks are flush.


Terminator to Terminator

Step 1• Set all plank tabs on any spigots and plank steps to the open setting.

Step 2• Place one of the planks onto the corresponding plank step and/or spigot.• Level the single plank by moving the spigot or plank step up or down via the terminating

hinge bar. • Secure the spigot or plank step with the corresponding “L” bolts on the hinge bar.


Step 3• Secure the single plank in place with a plank tab on each spigot or plank step, this will

stop the plank step from falling over.• Lift the other plank into place and tighten the rest of the plank tabs on both the spigot(s)

and plank step(s).


The platform has been stepped up a pitched

roof using just 1 terminator and plank

steps.

Note: you can get 2 steps installed on just 1

terminator.

Raking the planks up and over a pitched roof and ridge can give the

tradesmen access to all areas of the wall, where

stepping the platform can limit easy access in

some areas.


Planks running from the scaffold to a terminating bracket

Planks running from scaffold to pitch bracket.

Do not exceed 3m span.

• If there is scaffold being used for access, then it is possible to run planks from the scaffold onto a pitch bracket or a terminating bracket.

• There needs to be a safe way of ensuring the planks are secured in place.

• This may be in the form of a small strap if securing to customer supplied scaffold, or screwing the planks down with 2 x 75mm screws through the planks and into the scaffold decks if they are Buildsafe supplied.

• Planks are still only allowed to be spanned 3m from the scaffold to any bracket.

Scaffold to Pitch or Terminating Bracket


Raking Planks to a Terminator

With the use of a terminator, planks can be run up a pitched roof on an angle: ‘raking the planks’.

This allows the trades to gain access to all walls without any steps being in the way.Treads need to be created in the platform to aid traversing the raked planks.

Key Points

• The planks raking up the roof should meet as close as possible to the ridge on both sides, so it is a small step between them.

• At the bottom of raked planks they should always run underneath other planks.• The first tread at the bottom of the raked planks should not be more than 200mm up

from other planks.• Treads running up the raked planks should be spaced at a maximum of 500mm apart.• The top tread on raked planks should be no more than 100mm down from the top of the

planks.• Any handrail that meets at the top of the raked planks should do so with minimal over

hang so that it reduces the risk of a spearing hazard.

Step 1• Install the terminating bracket as you would normally for a tiled, tin, or rafter roof,

including the post spigots on the terminating hinge bars.• Position the spigots so they will be fully supporting the planks; 1 every 1.5 m.

Note: install the spigots to the outside of the platform.


Step 2• Open the plank tabs to make it easier to load planks onto the spigots.• Install the planks as you would normally onto the post spigots.• Tighten all plank tabs.

Step 3• Install supa posts to all of the post spigots and tighten all “L” bolts.


Step 4• Install the handrail carefully, as the rail can slip through the cams and damage the roof if

you let it go.• install a yellow rail brace to add strength to the rail and stop it from collapsing.

Step 5• Join the rail together at the apex with yellow G clamps.

Note: make sure the rail doesn’t cantilever too far over the apex of the handrail, as this will create a spearing hazard.


Step 6• Install the plank treads to the planks

• Simply spread the clamps on the tread, place the tread onto the planks.• slide the clamps so they are orientated under the planks and tighten the 18 mm bolt.

• The treads should be spaced 500 mm apart, with one tread 100 mm from the top of the planks, and 1300 mm from the bottom of the planks.


• There will be times when, installing the lower roof walkway, the platform will need to be stepped up.

• Using plank steps to support the planks will make the platform much stronger and more stable to work off.

• Plank steps can be used mid run to support 2 different sets of planks that run into each other, at different heights in a straight line.

• Plank steps can also be used to support planks in a step configuration where planks running 90 degrees into a corner section are at differing heights.

Key Points• Maximum height a platform can step up using a plank step is 500mm.• Maximum spacing between a plank step and a bracket (or between 2 plank steps) is 3

metres.

Step 1• Loosen the plank tabs on the bottom section of the plank step.• Slide the plank step onto the planks and tighten the plank tabs.

Installing Plank Steps

Installing Plank Steps Mid Run


Step 2• Install the planks running onto the top part of the plank step.• Level the planks by adjusting the plank step, lock the plank step in place with the “D”

pins.• Tighten the plank tabs on the top part of the plank step.


Step 1• Loosen all plank tabs on both plank steps.• Slide both the plank steps onto the lower planks. Leave the plank tabs loose.

Key Points• Ensure there is enough overhang past the corner to accommodate the plank steps.• Ensure that the brackets are installed as close to the corner as possible. This will reduce

the flex in the planks on the corner.

Installing Plank Steps to a Corner


Step 2• Remove the pins from the plank steps.• Separate the top parts of the plank steps from the bottom parts.


Step 3• Insert the top parts of the plank steps back into the bottom parts, so that the tabs are

running at 90 degrees to each other.• Move the whole box configuration so it matches up with the transom on the bracket

around the corner.


Step 4• Adjust the top parts of the plank steps to be the same as that of the transom the planks

are running from.• Insert the pins to lock them in place.


Step 5• Install planks to the top parts of the plank step.


Step 6• Tighten all plank tabs on all plank step parts.• Ensure that the planks are straight and even.


• The corner tie down ties planks together on an external or internal corner.• For a corner tie down to work, the planks must be running on top of each other with

little or no gap. Once the bolts are tightened, the corner plank tie squeezes the planks together.

• Tying the planks together at a corner helps reduce flex and add strength to the system.

Step 1• Loosen 1 bolt and undo the other, completely.

Installing A Corner Tie Down


Step 2• Holding the top half of the corner plank tie open, slide the bottom half under both sets of

planks.• Ensure that the corner tie down runs diagonal across the planks.

Step 3• Reinsert the bolt that was removed and tighten both bolts.• Ensure all planks are “grabbed” by the corner tie.

Do not over tighten the bolts as this will bend the ends of the tie downand thread the screws


• Floating post spigots support supa posts, which in turn support the hand rail of the lower roof walkway.

• Although the pitch brackets have their own spigot for a supa post, extra floating post spigots may need to be installed where there are no spigots present.

• When the planks are cantilevered to an unsupported corner, a post spigot can help clamp both the planks together.

• Adding a supa post can support the rail and reduce sagging in the rail on the end.

• Set one of the plank tabs to open.• Hook the floating post spigot under the planks.• Tighten the plank tabs to secure the spigot in place.• The spigot is now ready to have a supa post fitted.

Installing A Floating Post Spigot


• The supa post supports the handrail part of the platform. • It has a cam system that locks the rail in place against a piece of rubber, at the back of the

allotment where the rail sits.• Installing a supa post is simple. Place it on a spigot wherever it needs to be and tighten

the “L” bolt. • Installing supa posts should be done from the safety of the roof, and not on an

unprotected platform.

• Slide the supa post over the spigot and tighten the “L” bolt. Note: The installer is not standing on the unprotected platform to install the supa post.

• As with all Buildsafe systems that incorparate handrail, there must be a minimum of 2 supa posts or support points on every run of rail.

Installing A Supa Post


• Buildsafe’s lower roof walkway incorporates a handrail around the perimeter, and can also have handrail fitted internally if there is an internal fall zone.

• The handrail is to both protect people from falling off the platform and gaining access to the roof which in turn will reduce damage to roof cladding.

• The lower roof walkway system’s handrail is supported by supa posts that are fitted to the spigots.

• There must be 2 supa posts minimum supporting all lengths of rail and the hand rail must be between 900 and 1100 mm off the platform.

• This being the case there needs to be rail at 900 mm minimum where ever the platform steps up and down, this can be achieved by fixing a short piece (1.5 m) of rail diagonally on the handrail that has a step in it.

• The handrail has to be continuosly tied together throughout the whole platform, this includes all corners.

• Installing of handrail must be done from behind already clamped rail so that you are protected at all times.

The lower roof walkway system incorporates a handrail to prevent users from falling from the platform, or accessing the roof; minimising damage to roof cladding.

Installing The Rail To The Platform


Step 1• Before gaining access to the platform, the top handrail must be installed (at minimum).• If the system is being installed on trusses and (or) battens, then the handrail must be

installed safely by standing well back from the roof.


Step 2• Once top handrail is installed, then it is safe to access the platform and continue installing

the rest of the handrail.• Ensure that you are behind secured handrail at all times.


Step 3• Ensure all rails are even.• Lock cams on all supa posts by pulling down on the triggers so the rail bears against the

rubber at the back.• Fit an orange rail joiner to the top rail at every intersection of rail at each supa post.


Installing Rail Joiners

• Loosen the “L” bolt on the orange rail joiner.• Slide the rail joiner so that it incorporates both rails, and tighten “L” bolt. • Orange rail joiners are best placed at the longest overlap of rail past the super post.

Orange rail joiners need to be fitted to every top rail where the rail intersects at the supa post.

Orange rail joiners provide more strength to the top rail and help to align the rail.


Installing Corner Posts

The corners of all rails need to be tied together throughout the installation.We acheive this by using the corner post, which has a similar cam system as the supa posts except that the corner post joins the bottom rail, mid rail, and top rail at 90 degrees where

the rail overlaps in a corner.

Step 1• Place the corner post onto the rail that runs on top in the corner.• Slide the corner post in towards the corner, so all rails are within the cam allotments.


Step 2• Pull each trigger on the cams upwards so they squeeze the rail together, bearing against

the rubber within the cam.


The Lower Roof Walkway system must have a safe and easy access point present.Ultimately it would be ideal if we could have Buildsafe scaffold used for every lower roof

walkway installation, but that is not always the case.

Buildsafe Scaffold

This is by far the best option, as we can set the decks of the scaffold at a desirable height to work in with the lower roof walkway. It also looks professional to have our scaffold on site with the lower roof walkway.

Always remember:• To secure planks to our scaffold via a strap or 75 mm screws• Tie all rail into the scaffold.• Set the scaffold at a good height for all trades.

Using Buildsafe scaffold is the ideal situation for access.

Access Points


Customer Supplied Scaffold

Customer supplied scaffold can be both good and bad. Most of the time it is set at a reasonble height. When running our lower roof walkway off customer supplied scaffold, we need to find a way of securing the planks to the scaffold. The most effective way of doing this is with a small strap. The rail also needs to be tied in..

Customer supplied scaffold used as access can be good and bad.

Remember to always secure the planks and rail to customer supplied scaffold.


Internal Access (window)

When there is no other access available, an internal access can be used. Most of the time this will have to be a window void as this allows easy and safe access to the platform.

The only down side to this is the customer may inadvertantly install the windows without realising; rendering the access point useless. If an internal access is used, then the sales staff

need to let the customer know of the situation.

Using a window frame is an option, but you run the risk of the window being fitted.

Using an uncladded wall is not an option. Once the wall is cladded then trades have no access to the platform.


Access Off Roof (via gate)

Another form of accessing the platform is off the roof.

• For this to be a viable option, then there has to be a safe access onto the roof from the ground.

• There can be a gate to access the platform, or simply a break in the rail, at a section where the platform is low enough so that trades can access the platform easily.

Roof rail with a gate onto the roof must be present so trades can access the roof safely.

A break in the rail or a rail gate on the rail will allow trades to access the platform safely.


Inspection and Handover

Before we can hand the lower roof over for use by other trades, there are key things that need to be addressed.

• We have to determine that the brackets are secure and the platform and handrail is compliant.

• All potential fall zones have to be closed off to a minimum of 225mm to any wall or structure.

• All signs have to be present and fixed to the lower roof walkway and in full view.• There is a safe and easy access point present.

The best way to confirm this, is having a quick walk around all areas where platform is installed and double check all brackets are secure and there are no fall zones present.

Fall Zones

When setting up a lower roof walkway on an open truss and batten lower roof, there may be times when you create fall zones in front of the platform.• Because there is no roof cladding on the roof, we may need to close any fall zones with

lengths of timber screwed or nailed down to the rafters. • All fall zones need to be reduced to (minimum) 225mm between the platform and the

wall, to comply with the scaffold standards.• This will help trades if they need to step off the front of the platform, for example, to

reach the bottom of the wall.

X


The rafters in front of the platform need “battening out” so there is no chance of anyone falling through the rafters.

Another example of battening out in front of the platform.

X


Sometimes when installing the platform, you may inadvertantly create internal fall zones. These fall zones need to be handrailed to make the platform compliant.

• The light duty sign has to be fitted to the system in full view near the access point.• This sign has important information about altering the platform and the duty of the

system.

An ‘Access Point’ sign must be fitted to the designated access point.


• A large Buildsafe sign needs to be fitted to the system in full view of the public and other trades.

• The best position for a Buildsafe sign is on the outside of the handrail.


Complete the Electronic Handover on the iPad

The Electronic Handover is used:

• As evidence of a compliant and high quality install at the time of your departure from site. This is especially important in the event of system tamper by others or an incident

• For the auditing team to complete quality audits

• To supply to the client via Buildsafe's website for their own record of the install

It is essential that you take your time to produce a quality report that includes clear photos


Incomplete Lower Roof Walkway

• If we have to leave a site for whatever reason and the lower roof walkway is left incomplete, you must take lengths to deter anyone from accessing the incomplete platform.

• A ’ Scaffolding Incomplete’ sign must be affixed to all access points and incomplete sections of the walkway.

• After the walkway has scaffolding incomplete signs attached we must complete a Incom-plete Report on the iPad as evidence that we have warned any potential users.


Dismantle

The following procedures must be done prior to dismantling a Lower Roof Walkway.

• A pick up/dismantle JSA must be filled out before proceeding with the dismantle. • Make sure the system hasn’t been tampered with.• Make sure all work is complete for what the platform is being used for. Sometimes

supervisors will book the pick up on the proviso that all the work is complete.• Document and report any damage to the roof or wall prior to dismantle.• Inform other trades on site that we will be working on the roof and to maintain a safe

distance.

Complete a ‘tampered system’ report if the system has been tampered with. The various supervisors and/or OH&S officers for the company can be notified.

This platform has been altered by removing the handrail. Only the mid rail is left, leaving the platform non compliant for all users.


We need to make sure that all work is complete on the walls eaves and anything else the platform is being used for. If the platform is not ready to come down call the office for

rescheduling

Document any damage caused during the hire of the walkway by completing a damage report.

Inform the site supervisor.


When arriving on site to pick up a lower roof walkway, you must inform other trades of our intention to be working above them.

Pass down equipment while dismantling the lower roof walkway.

Ensure you are working safely, minimising accidents in areas where other trades are working.


Leaving Site

When we have finished an install or dismantle we must leave the site as we found it.• Close the gate if there is one, and if we are last on site.• All rubbish must be placed in a bin or designated rubbish pile.• Conduct a quick and thorough site check to make sure we have all equipment, screws

and signs. • Take 2 - 3 minutes to walk around a site and check we haven’t left anything. • Leaving equipment onsite looks unprofessional.

Leaving gear on site is not an option.

Leaving equipment, signs, and screws on site after an install or dismantle is not an option.If we leave equipment on site it can be stolen, or it will be in the way and may cause a

hazard. It looks unprofessional.


If you are last to leave a site close the gate behind you.

• Walkway Boards are used to prevent damage to lower roofs while being accessed by Trades.

• The boards will transition from the scaffold creating a continuous walkway to reach all areas where works needs to be completed.

• Fall protection must be in place for walkway boards to be installed to or dismantled from a roof.

Installation Procedure

Step 4Continue to layout and attach the boards.

Roof fall

Cleats

Ensure the cleats are perpedicular with the fall of the roof, so the grip is running across the roof.

Step 5

Sheet Roof Hooks secure the Boards to the roof.

Loosen the roofing screw to attach the Hook, then attach to the board with 1 x 25mm timber screw.

Fasten the roofing screw, being sure not to overtighten it.

Step 6

Use any of the three screw locations on the Hooks to reach the screw line

Ensure the screw is minimum 30mm from the edge of the Board so it doesn’t split the Board

Step 7

Step 8Stagger the Boards in between Sheet Roof brackets if required.

RUNS UP THE PITCH - TIN ROOF

1. Install Hooks wherever Boards overlap a screw line.

2. Stagger Hooks either side of the run where possible.

3. Ensure a minimum of one hook at each end of each run (a connection to a terminating transom suffices as a hook).

Double Width Boards4. Connect the two runs together on every

Board.

Roof fall

One board on its ownis one run and will require two hooks.

250mm

The ideal distance from the wall face to the Board is 250mm.

Step 10

Step 9

If the vertical distance from the roof to the bottom of the fascia is 1600mm or less, double width Boards are required.

This creates a continuous walkway with head height clearance under the eave.

Step 11

1600mmor less = double boards

Install triangle boards at ridges where required.

Do not install Boards on top of ridge capping.

Use Clip Lock Clamps and Roof Adaptors.

Screw the adaptor to the board using 2 x 25mm timber screws.

Install Clamps at each end of each run and an additional Clamp every 5 Boards.

Attach Boards together with 2 Connectors.

This is required as the Boards are not on a flat surface they may flip if the corners are stood on.

CLIP LOCK ROOF

TRIM DECK ROOFAttach Boards together with 2 Connectors.


TILE ROOF

Walkway Boards are secured to tile roofs using a Tile Hook.

The Hook slides up under the tile and prevents the Boards from slipping down the roof.

Slighty lift up the tile and slide the Tile Hook in sideways.

Then turn the Hook up andpull down into position.

Attach the Hook to the bottom of the Board using 1 x 25mm Timber Screw.

Step 1

Step 3

Step 2

Attach Boards together with 2 Connectors.


Do not move any tiles within 3 courses of the ridge capping.

This can crack the mortar around the ridge tiles on dismantle.

Keep the boards minimum 100mm from unfinished ridges.

To allow for completion of tile ridge capping.
