#SWING STAGE SCAFFOLD DEFINITION PROFESSIONAL#
In designing an MPSS, a professional engineer must ensure that the minimum design criteria set out in the Regulations are met when following other applicable codes and standards. To assist in understanding the requirements made under the Occupational Health and Safety Act, this guideline explains the sections of the regulations for MPSS that deal with the responsibilities of the professional engineer and responsibilities of the constructor, employer, supervisor and worker. The guideline highlights the major components of an MPSS, design methods, design loads, load factors and safety factors to be considered in the design, system redundancy, design drawings and what they should include. The purpose of this guideline is to clarify the requirements for multi-point suspended scaffolds ( MPSSs) in sections 142.1 to 142.8 of the Regulations for Construction Projects. Health and safety inspectors apply and enforce these laws based on the facts they find in the workplace. This resource does not replace the Occupational Health and Safety Act ( OHSA) and its regulations and should not be used as or considered legal advice. These legal requirements should be referred to when using this guideline. The information contained in this guideline is not intended to be all-inclusive nor should it be interpreted as replacing or modifying the requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety Act and the Regulations for Construction Projects (the Regulation). This guideline is intended to provide assistance to professional engineers, constructors, employers, supervisors and workers with an overview of the design, construction and use of multi-point suspended scaffolds. Sections 137 to 142 of Ontario Regulation 213/91 are no longer applicable to MPSS. The Regulations for Construction Projects were amended by Ontario Regulation 85/04, which added specific requirements for the design, construction and use of multi-point suspended scaffolds ( MPSS) in subsections 142.1 to 142.8, along with the definitions for "multi-point suspended scaffold", "safety factor", and "traverse" in subsection 1(1) These amendments came into effect October 1, 2004. 213/91 (Construction Projects) that came into force on January 1, 2017. These guidelines are being updated to reflect amendments to O.
