Government Regulation
of 20 April 1948
amending and supplementing the provisions on the protection of the health and life of workers in the commercial implementation of buildings.
The Government of the Czechoslovak Republic hereby orders pursuant to Section 74a, paragraph 1 of the Trade Code as amended by the Act of 21 April 1913, No 74, and § 102, paragraph 6 of the Trade Code of 10 October 1924, No 259 Coll.:
The Government Decree of 26 March 1931, No. 53 Coll., on the Protection of the Health and Life of Workers in the Commercial Implementation of Buildings, is amended as follows:
1. the following shall be added to Article 2 (1):
"If it is used to dig construction pits and ground work deep machinery, it is permitted to proceed with the excavation and from the bottom up and create even higher non-mounted steep walls than 1,50 m up to the maximum stripping height of the machine used. This must prevent workers and other persons from entering a dangerous area at the edge of the excavation and under steep walls. Special care must then be taken when finishing the construction pit walls and their security according to other provisions. '
2. Paragraph 19 (1) and (2) read as follows:
(1) Each scaffolding shall be properly firmly, securely and sufficiently wide, taking into account the expected load and the manner and type of work to be carried out on it, and shall be maintained in such condition.
(2) Components used in the construction of scaffolding and lifts (stacks, pillars, skis, beams, supports, steel pipes, patent hinges, couplings of all kinds, boxes, screws, anchors, washers, boards, ladders, ropes, chains, pulleys, hoists and others) must be inspected before the scaffolding is built by a person authorised to carry out the construction, or by a supervisor (§ 95, paragraph 1), established by that person, to ascertain whether they are safe. The wood used must be healthy, with dimensions suitable for the expected scaffolding load. All scaffolding components shall comply with the relevant regulations for safe use. The protruding nails shall be removed before the scaffolding components are transported to the construction site, but always before their use, as well as during the cutting of scaffolding. '
3. Paragraph 20 reads as follows:
The scaffolding must be inspected at reasonable times, unless otherwise specified, at least 14 days and after longer work breaks, after storm, rainy or wind weather or after heavy snow, by a supervisor appointed by the person authorised to carry out the construction. This supervisor shall determine whether the scaffolding is still in good condition, immediately remove the identified deficiencies and record the results of scaffolding inspections. '
4. Paragraph 21 (3) reads as follows:
"(3) On all floors of scaffolding where work is to be worked or where workers must enter, a tight floor must be set from healthy, plastered boards with dimensions which meet the expected load. However, in no case shall a plank of less than 2,6 cm be used. For the calculation of normal work scaffolding, it shall be taken as the basis of a load of at least 300 kg per 1 m2 of floor; for scaffolding intended to be used solely for the manufacture of plaster, or for scaffolding, a load of at least 150 kg per m2 shall be calculated. In any case, however, a load of at least 120 kg on a single plank must be calculated by loading a single load. '
5. in Paragraph 21, the following paragraphs 4 to 6 are inserted after paragraph 3:
"(4) The contact of the boards shall be adjusted either on two beams, placed side by side, or on one beam, whereby the boards shall exceed the beam by at least 20 cm. The boards must be secured against displacement. Replacing the floor with double-laid weak boards, i.e. toast, is not allowed. When scaffolding on several floors, a tight floor must be set not only on the floor where work is carried out but also on the floor immediately lower.
(5) The access of staff to the scaffolding, the descent with it and the connection between the scaffolding floors shall be ensured by safe steps, ramps or ladders secured so that they can be reached on the scaffolding and on the job only from floor to floor.
(6) The floor of each scaffold of more than 1,90 m shall be fitted on the open sides with a full board of planks or at least a two-bar 1.1 m high, sufficiently rigid railing. At the edge, it shall be slotted on a fixed plank at least 25 cm wide (flaps) so that persons, material, tools and other objects shall be secured before falling with scaffolding. This fence or railing shall be fixed from within to stackers, columns or the like. At the end of the floors, the fence shall be adjusted above the last scaffold of the scaffolding to prevent workers from entering the end of the floor boards which exceed the scaffold. '
6. Paragraph 22 reads as follows:
(1) The scaffolding must, as a general rule, be set up on all free sides of the construction according to the position, type and manner of construction and the work carried out, so as to ensure the safety of both the construction staff and bystanders.
(2) If external work scaffolding is not to be set up in view of the construction method, the construction of external walls from inside the building (over the hand) is permitted. The wall shall be raised at least 50 cm above the level of the floor of each working position from which it is to be seen over the hand, unless the floor of the protective scaffolding is established at its level. The entrepreneur shall notify this working method at least 14 days prior to the start of the construction to the competent labour protection office where the labour inspectorate is established.
(3) For the protection of workers and other persons against the fall and for the retention of falling material, a protective scaffold must be set up at the wall inside the building (extended according to § 28, pillars, ladders and the like). The floor of the protective scaffolding is usually to be set up at the level closest to the lower floor of the building below the working position, but it must not be below the floor level of the work station below 3 m and reach up to the wall. Other ways than protective scaffolding, for example sliding fences and such., are allowed to be used only after prior consent of the Ministry of Social Welfare.
(4) The space around the building, threatened by the fall of objects, must be safely enclosed. If the space is not protected against falling objects, it shall not be used for the landfill of material and for auxiliary or other preparatory work and access to it shall be prohibited by conspicuous, well-visible decrees. Above the places where the material is being walked or transported, and above the streets and streets, it must be set up to protect against falling objects at the necessary level above the ground of the roof with a slight inclination to the building or street and with a protective board on the outside.
(5) Proper work scaffolding or protective scaffolding shall be established, mutatis mutandis, in accordance with paragraphs 2 and 3, also when carrying out a support structure made of iron concrete, even if the work of the reinforced concrete is commissioned separately from that of the masonry. If proper scaffolding cannot be constructed at the same time during the installation of the iron skeleton, a protective scaffolding shall be set up or secured in accordance with the construction procedure, mutatis mutandis with the provisions of paragraphs 2 and 3. ';
7. In Paragraph 25, the following paragraph 3 is inserted after paragraph 2:
"(3) If it is a pole scaffolding, a pair of boards of boards of at least 5 cm thick may be used for laying the floor, which are mounted on both sides of the columns by two screws at least 20 mm thick with mothers passing through both beams and columns. It shall not be permitted for planks to be attached only by nails, or by cliffs or under."
8. Paragraph 27 reads as follows:
(1) The scaffolding must be secured in an appropriate manner (by anchoring inside the structure, by suspension) against any displacement. The ventilation shall be fixed to stacks or columns and arranged diagonally over the entire scaffolding or at least alternately in each other or third field over the whole height and width of the scaffolding. It is forbidden to hang on a ram, i.e. without proper support, the floor on which persons enter or compose the material.
(2) The floor of the scaffolding must be at least 2 m wide and, if an auxiliary scaffolding is set up, at least 3 m wide. In the case of scaffolding, protective or used only to perform plaster, wall tiles and similar lightweight work, the floor shall be at least 1,50 m wide. In both cases, the floor shall reach against the wall or the inner stackers or columns. ';
9. Paragraph 28 reads as follows:
(1) The extended scaffolding to be used as a proper scaffolding shall be at least 2 m wide; If there is a scaffold on it, it must be at least 3 m wide. For extended scaffolding only (§ 22, paragraph 3), a width of not less than 1,50 m shall be allowed
(2) The scaffolding beams for extended scaffolding must be particularly securely resisted inside the building after being tied to the beam and secured against any displacement and extraction. On the outside, at least one pair of crackers needs to be put back against the wall with strong loads. These struts are not needed only if they are used by particularly strong crackers, which are sufficiently long in the stored part and which are firmly connected to the ceiling structure by forming one static unit with the ceilings. The furthest floorboard is well attached to every piece of wood. The extended scaffolding must be enclosed with free sides in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 21, paragraph 6.
(3) The goats on the scaffold scaffolds must be built and fixed in such a way that they are secured against displacement and overturning.
(4) The fixing of protruding beams, supporting structures and floors of protruding scaffolding and the fixing of auxiliary scaffolds on them must be inspected daily. "
10. Paragraph 29 reads as follows:
(1) The scaffolding set up on narrow ladders may be used only for work which requires a small amount of material, such as the repair of plaster, painting, dyeing and similar work. For new plastering, major repairs, tiles of the exterior walls of buildings or the restoration of their entire facades, scaffolding must be used, set up from wide reinforced ladders or from ladder pairs (pairs). The distance between the inner sides of the narrow ladders shall be at least 35 cm, at least 80 cm wide ladders.
(2) The ladders must have properly strong gravel trees and straight-grown, healthy wood, preferably plain-leaved. The basic (lower, reinforced) narrow ladders and wide ladders shall have a cross-section of at least 10x5 cm at the upper end of the gravel trees and an extension (upper, weaker) narrow ladders of at least 8x4 cm. The sides which carry the floors shall be of hard wood and, in the case of narrow ladders, not less than 2,5 cm wide and 5 cm high, in the case of wide ladders at the ends of not less than 2,5 cm wide and 11 cm high and in the middle of not less than 4,5 cm wide and 11 cm high; If made of bars of iron, they shall be at least 22 mm thick for narrow ladders and at least 26 mm thick for wide ladders. The sections must be firmly interwoven in the gravel plants and the iron partitions must be secured against the spontaneous ejection. Carrier beams shall not be more than 2 m apart Ladders may be used as ladders only for the establishment of scaffolds whose highest working floor is not more than 8 m above the ground. For scaffolding exceeding 25 m, only the ladders must be used for their lower half.
(3) Ladders shall not be placed directly on the ground, on the floor, on the floor, on the floor and on the floor, but shall enter into the ground appropriately, or be attached to pillars which are embedded in the ground; both plants must always be supported by a sufficiently strong plank. Where ladders cannot be introduced into the ground, they shall be placed on a solid base so that both ladders are laid on the ground equally full of weight, and it shall be appropriate to prevent them from slipping with the ladders. At the upper ends, ladders must be securely and permanently fixed. If they are used to do this, they must be properly anchored. The distance of ladders shall not normally be more than 3 m, but in no case shall it be more than 4 m. The highest permissible load of one scaffolding field on narrow ladders is 150 kg, on ladders wide or on ladder pairs not exceeding 350 kg. Stocks of mortar, tools and equipment must only be stored near ladders. In contact with scaffolding on corners, corner ladders must be built.
(4) Only basic ladders may be used to establish scaffolding from ladder pairs. Two ladders parallel to the face of the building (ladder pairs, pairs) must be reinforced with a cross in a vertical plane and two adjacent parallel ladders (scaffold fields) must be suspended on both the inside and the outside. The axes of the ladders may be separated in the longitudinal direction not exceeding 3 m and in the transverse direction not exceeding 2 m. '
11. Paragraph 30 (1) and (2) read as follows:
(1) If ladders are set up, the ladders shall exceed by at least 2,5 m and the mounting shall be at least 1,5 m and shall be properly connected (iron hooks and couplings, screws, ropes and the like). The rungs used to hang and connect ladders when adjusting shall be of at least 22 mm thick rod iron only, for wide ladders not less than 26 mm thick.
(2) The connection of the ladder scaffold with the building (anchoring) must be carried out in a safe and durable manner on each floor of all ladders, especially those of the extreme and corner ladders, in vertical directions at distances not exceeding 3,50 m. The proper longitudinal stiffening of scaffolding shall also be taken care of. '
12. Paragraph 31 reads as follows:
(1) Forestry boards must be of appropriate strength and width so that the space between the gravel boards is filled. For aid lengths up to 3 m, boards must be at least 4 cm thick, at a greater aid distance of at least 5 cm thick. The boards shall lie reliably on the rungs or supports and be properly fixed. On both sides, the floor shall be raised by ladders or support of not less than 20 cm and at the end of the scaffolding not more than 50 cm. To extend the floor outside the ladder by a maximum of 45 cm, special console beams may be used, which must be inadvertently connected to the gravel and must be at least 22 mm thick for narrow iron bars, at least 26 mm thick for wide ladders. Console can only be placed between the ladder and the building.
(2) The floor of the scaffolding for plasterings set up from wide ladders must be at least 120 cm wide but not less than 150 cm wide on ladder pairs. In order to place the scaffolding floor on ladder pairs, two beams of boards of at least 16 cm high and 4,5 cm thick, extending to the building, shall be inserted between the gravel of each ladder pair. The beams shall rest on bars of iron of at least 22 mm thick, be secured securely to the gravel by clamps, ropes and the like, secured against rollover and protruding at least 10 cm. The scaffold floors on ladders may be above each other not more than 2 m.
(3) If scaffolding is used on wide ladders as a protective scaffold, the floors shall be at least 1,20 m wide and the floor of the protective scaffold shall not be below the level of the floor of the workstation below 2 m. The ladder scaffolding, used as a protective scaffolding, shall either be embedded in the ground or attached to the pillars impacted into the ground and shall be gradually trapped in the building according to the construction process so that the last capture (anchoring) is not more than 1 m below the upper floor. The scaffolding floor shall be set up so that it reaches close to the wall so that persons or material are secured before falling with scaffolding. '
13. Paragraph 32 (1) and (3) read as follows:
(1) From the outside, the floor of the ladder scaffolding must be enclosed with a protective two-bar, sufficiently rigid railing and tilting. The wooden rail shall have a cross-section of at least 3x12 cm. If the space between the scaffolding and the building is wider than 30 cm, the scaffolding must also be secured with this side in the same way.
(3) Ladder scaffolds and their fastening (anchoring) must be inspected daily before work begins. "
14. Paragraph 33 is added to paragraph 4 of the following text:
"(4) Hanged scaffolding and related hanging ropes, chains and the like must be tested before any use. The fixing of the protruding beams for scaffolding must be inspected daily."
15. The following shall be inserted after Paragraph 37 as a new provision of Section 37a:
"(h) scaffolding of steel pipes.
(1) Only steel seamless tubes with the lowest external diameter of 48,25 mm, complying with the relevant standards of the Czechoslovak standardisation company, may be used as parts of scaffolding (columns, longitudinal, cross-section, etc.). Only couplings and inserts of an approved type shall be used for connecting scaffolding components and for setting. The safe connection between metal and wood components (skis, cross-sections, etc.) must also be ensured when used in tubular scaffolding.
(2) In order not to push the pipes to which they are used as pillars into the ground, they must have iron feet. The feet shall be fixed in such a way that the load is spread over a sufficiently large surface. It is prohibited to base bricks, blocks or boards of pipe to be used as pillars.
(3) Vertical pipes shall be secured against water flow in and, like other structural material, protected against damage caused by weather or mortar.
(4) The scaffolding shall be properly fixed in the direction of longitudinal and transverse and, as a whole, safely anchored inside the structure.
(5) The manufacturer shall provide the buyer or scaffolding user with a confirmation that the components of the scaffolding supplied comply with the relevant rules or standards, if the components conform to the approved type, and provide him with instructions on the construction of the scaffolding taking into account its static calculation and stability.
(6) When constructing scaffolding, the instructions given by the manufacturer, as well as the specific official regulations issued for the construction and use of such scaffolding, shall be followed precisely. '
16. Paragraph 49 (3) reads as follows:
"(3) If electricity is used for propulsion or lighting, electrical equipment of high and low voltage may be operated and changed only by an authorised expert who is obliged to maintain the relevant regulations of the Czechoslovak Electronic Union. These regulations must also comply with hand-held electrical devices with low voltage accessories which must be kept in this state. Employees must use rubber gloves to operate these devices. It is prohibited to use bare or insufficiently insulated wires. If electrical current is used for temporary lighting inside the building, the voltage shall not exceed 24 V. '
17. Paragraph 62 (1), third sentence, shall be omitted after the word "torn" or "torn (shot)."
18. Paragraph 62 (2) reads as follows:
"(2) Construction works such as demolition of buildings or parts of buildings, factory chimneys, removal of concrete blocks, machinery bases and removal of explosives. However, these tearing works require prior authorisation from the District National Committee, which, following the hearing of the Regional Labour Protection Office, in which a labour inspector is set up, lays down the detailed conditions under which such work is to be carried out with regard to public security and construction safety. The person responsible for carrying them out shall be present in all the tearing operations; that person is liable for the precise maintenance of the relevant rules. Before the construction is laid down, a place where it will fall, and on the roads leading to it, there must be patrols."
19. Paragraph 81 (4) reads as follows:
"(4) If the workers are provided at the construction of beds, the dormitories must be equipped to comply with health and safety regulations; in particular, care shall be taken for the cleanliness of dormitories, sufficient number of sinks with the necessary equipment and heating during cold weather. Every worker must have his own bed."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 30 day following that of its publication; they shall be carried out by the Minister for Social Welfare in agreement with the Ministers involved.
