On-site Safety Considerations for Scaffoldings

As widely accepted, scaffolding works are one of the temporary facility in a construction project. However, its impact on a project is very significant. Therefore, they must be comprehensively planned, designed and erected. The current practices on such applications are often manual and reactive, and abnormally performed while the project is on-going. In Turkey, there are no legal regulations for the manufacturers of scaffoldings. Only are some legal requirements used for scaffolding works, especially on the construction sites. For these reasons, a simple and confidential design analysis method can be efficiently and effectively searched by the practitioners. In order to make a contribution to the relevant studies, this research has been conducted. This paper presents the results of a research whose aim was to introduce a new perspective view on the safety regulations of scaffolding production and erection works on a construction site
