Welding Precautions When Working on Suspension Scaffolds
Welding while on a suspended scaffold requires that certain precautions be taken to reduce the possibility of welding current arcing through the suspension wire rope. These precautions include but are not limited to the following:
- Insulating the wire rope and any additional lines
- Covering each hoist with an insulated cover
- Connecting a grounding conductor from the scaffold to the structure
Consult 29 CFR 1926.451(f) for details.
