*How to calculate load capacity of scaffolding.?*

Three Types of scaffolding (OSHA).

Light Duty : 25 lbs = 125 kg / m²
3m(lengtg)× 1.25m (width)

Medium duty : 50lbs = 250 kg/m²
2m(lengtg)× 1.25m (width)

High duty : 75lbs = 370 kg /m²
1.5m( length)1.25m (width)

Load increase inversely proportional length decrease .

Light duty scaffolding .
Bay = L×W
= 3× 1.25
= 3.75m²
125× 375
= 468 kg

How to calculate scaffolding safe work load.
(SWL).?

SWL = D+(4×L)

D: Dead weight
L: live weight

Dead weight = weight of scaffolding , working component, platform weight.

Live weight = Tools (Material) Human being.

Example,
SWL = D+(4×L)
= 200+(4×70)
SWL = 480 .
480 weight is use for light duty scaffolding.

Drop, cover, and hold on: If you are inside a building, drop to the ground, take cover under a sturdy piece of furniture, and hold on until the shaking stops. If you're outside, move away from buildings, trees, and power lines, and drop to the ground.

Stay indoors until the shaking stops: Do not try to run outside during the earthquake, as there may be falling debris or other hazards.

Stay away from windows: Broken glass can be very dangerous during an earthquake. If you are near a window, move away from it or take cover under a desk or table.

Turn off gas and electricity: If you smell gas or notice a broken gas line, turn off the gas immediately. Similarly, turn off the electricity at the main breaker if there are any electrical problems.

Be prepared for aftershocks: Aftershocks can occur after an earthquake, so be prepared to drop, cover, and hold on again.

Evacuate if necessary: If you are in a tsunami zone or near a damaged building, follow local authorities' evacuation orders.
