Scaffolding fasteners Description
considerably longer than is need when the nut has been tightened. This excess
length is required to allow the clamp half to be opened even while the nut is
retained on the screw. To do so, the screw and nut arrangement engages a slot
in the clamp half. This excess length of screw then protrudes into the area
around the scaffolding system where it can cause a considerable hazard to
people and equipment. For example, an operative walking pass the clamp can snag
a part of their body or a part of their equipment on the screw, causing direct
injury or indirect injury, perhaps when a loose strap catches on the screw and
pulls the operative off balance, or causes an item of equipment to fall towards
the ground where it could hit another operative but also at least damage the
equipment and other equipment/supplies on the ground. A falling operative could
hit one of these clamps in particular the protruding screw and cause
considerable harm to him/herself. Furthermore, over time the end of the screw
can become damaged and sharp edges or burrs can be generated which further
increase the harm that this excess of screw length can inflict on an operative.
A member of the public walking past or underneath a scaffolding assembly can
inadvertently catch himself on the protruding screw and the responsible
authority (operator) must consequently spend a considerable amount of time
assessing and mitigating the hazards caused by scaffolding clamps where the
public may need to come close to scaffolding. A system which mitigates such a
hazard from the start may therefore confer considerable time savings and
hazard-related savings on the operator.
