b)
Swivel Coupler Composed of 2 single coupler riveted together so that it is possible to rotate them and use them for connecting 2 scaffolding tubes at any angle
c)
Putlog Coupler Use solely for fixing putlogs/transoms to the horizontal ledgers
Figure : Putlog Coupler d) Based Plate It is used to distribute the load from the foot of a standard on to a sole plate or firm ground.

Steps scaffolding A Steps scaffolding support apparatus, ladder stabilizer and ladder scaffolding system is disclosed. The support apparatus generally includes a first bar connected to a second bar at an angle. The bars include planar pads adapted to be affixed to a wall. The apparatus further includes a third bar that is in telescopic arrangement with the first bar. The third bar is adapted to fit through the rung of a ladder. Several brackets can be used to stabilize a ladder against a surface, typically a wall. When one or more ladders are used in conjunction with a platform, the brackets can be used to affix the ladders to a wall. The platform is laid on the rungs of the ladders thereby creating a scaffolding system.

The independent or birdcage scaffold consists of more than two rows of vertical poles, or standards, connected by horizontal pieces, or ledgers and transoms. It is intended for use on one level only, like when working on a ceiling.

3. Single Scaffolding
This section only applies to wooden single-pole scaffolds (see Figure 23.15). This type of scaffold has platforms resting on putlogs or cross beams, the outside ends of which are supported on ledgers secured to a single row of posts or uprights, the inner ends of which are supported on or in a wall. The advantage of a Single pole Scaffold is that less materials are used as there are no inside standards or ledgers. The disadvantage is that if the ground dries out and shrinks slightly, or a heavy load is placed on the scaffold then as the standards and ledgers drop they lever the brickwork apart.

Couple Scaffolding
Scaffolding coupler is a device used to hold two pieces of a scaffolding structure together. The coupler will clamp tight to ensure the two pieces being connected do not move or slip, and numerous couplers will be used throughout the structure to complete the finished scaffold. The size, shape, and function of a scaffolding coupler can vary depending on where on the structure it will be placed, though they are almost always placed in locations at which two or more pipes or bars come together.

Cantilever Scaffolding
Cantilever scaffold, also known as jib scaffold and trussed scaffold, is a scaffold formed with the tubes cantilevered out of an opening in the building,

Hanging bracket scaffolding can be a cost-effective way to provide safe access to eaves and provide fall protection to roofers and other workers. However, it is important to remember that the risk of falling during the erection and dismantling of hanging bracket scaffolding must be controlled.

Two-point (swing stage): Platform supported by hangers (stirrups) suspended by two ropes from overhead supports and equipped with a means to permit the platform to be raised and lowered. Single-point Adjustable: Platform suspended by one rope from an overhead support and equipped with a means to permit the platform to be moved to desired working levels. Catenary: Platform supported by two essentially horizontal and parallel ropes attached to structural members of a building. Additional vertical pickups may also provide support. Multi-point Adjustable: Platform(s) suspended by more than two ropes from overhead supports and equipped with a means to permit the platform to be raised and lowered. Includes chimney hoists. Interior Hung: Platform suspended from the ceiling or roof structure by fixedlength supports. Needle Beam: A platform suspended from needle beams. Multi-level: Two-point or multi-point adjustable suspension scaffold with a series of platforms at various levels resting on common stirrups. Float (ship): Braced platform resting on two parallel bearers and hung from overhead supports by ropes of fixed length.
Falls from elevation caused by slipping, unsafe access and the lack of fall protection Struck by falling tools / debris Electrocution from overhead power lines Scaffold collapse caused by instability or overloading Bad planking giving way Fall hazards while climbing on or off the scaffold, working on unguarded scaffold platforms, when scaffold platforms or planks fail

Safety Precautions If a worker on a scaffold can fall more than 10 feet, protect them by : Guardrails Personal Fall Arrest Systems ( PFAS) Falling Object Protection Overhead Power Lines Standard must be on the same level and vertically straight on the base plate The supporting Platform wood must be supported properly Working platform must been equipped with safety elements such as hand rail Scaffold must be inspected at certain times Use safety tool such as safety boot, safety helmet and etc when using platform Supervision of scaffold erection and progress
