Steps

  1. Fetch 1926.452(b) for tube-and-coupler requirements: transverse 'X' bracing at scaffold ends and at least every third set of posts horizontally / fourth runner vertically.
  2. Note the 125-foot height threshold above which a registered professional engineer must design the tube-and-coupler scaffold.
  3. Fetch 1926.452(c) for fabricated (tubular welded) frame scaffold bracing and vertical coupling-pin requirements.
  4. Confirm platform-relocation sequencing language: existing platform stays undisturbed until new bearers/frames are set and braced.
  5. Cross-check against OSHA's eTool pages for tube-and-coupler and frame scaffolds for illustrated versions of the same rules.
