FOREWORD

This Malaysian Construction Industry Standard No. 22 (hereinafter referred as this CIS)
is a standard on “Safe Use of Scaffolding In Construction”. It is developed by the
Working Group on Temporary Works (WG) with the assistance of Construction Industry
Development Board Malaysia (CIDB), which acted as a moderator and facilitator for the
working group throughout the development process of this standard.

Two categories of temporary works were identified by the WG - scaffolding and

falsework. This CIS focuses on the methods of safe use of scaffolding in construction,
which addresses the applicable requirements under the Factories And Machinery Act
1967 (Building Operations And Works Of Engineering Construction - BOWEC) (Safety)
Regulation 1986, the CIDB Act 520 (Amendment 2011) and the Malaysian Standards
MS 1462 on scaffolding.

This CIS also highlights the professional responsibilities of the Professional Engineer for
Temporary Works (PETW) on the design and supervision of the scaffolding works under
the PETW responsibility and also the responsibility the Designated Person of the
contractor in the, procurement, erection, maintenance, alteration and dismantling of the
scaffolding.

This CIS, however, does not cover falsework.

Compliance with this document does not in itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

v
1.0 INTRODUCTION

In general, temporary works that include scaffolding and falsework, fall under a
contractor’s responsibility. However, it must be understood that scaffolding is not
falsework as each serve a different function.

Scaffolding’s function is to provide a work crew temporary access to a work area as well
as to enable materials to be taken to any place at which such work is performed. This
includes any working platform, gangway, skip, ladder or stepladder, guard rail, toe
board or other safeguards and all fixings.

Falsework’s function, on the other hand, is to provide support for appliances, machines,
other plants and equipment to enable construction of and protect permanent works. It
may or may not remain in place during the completion of the works.

Temporary works are significantly and widely used in the construction industry.
However, numerous reports have surfaced in the media about failures of scaffolding
and falsework. The main reasons can be attributed to the lack of quality of the material,
structural integrity, and lack of attention on the safety aspects in the installation,
maintenance and dismantling of scaffolding and falsework, especially during the boom
period in the last decade.

Failures or collapses normally result in human injuries or fatalities, property damage,

delays in delivering services and loss of revenue to project owners and the companies
involved and, particularly, to the contractors. Hence prevention of failures or collapses is
necessary.

Correspondingly, in addition to the already available provisions in the Building

Operations And Works Of Engineering Construction (BOWEC), professional bodies
such as the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM), The Institution of Engineers Malaysia
(IEM) and Master Builders Association of Malaysia (MBAM) have taken steps in
preventing such failures.

BEM published “Guidelines on the Role and Responsibility of Professional Engineers for
Temporary Works During Construction Stage” as a guide for all Professional Engineers
who are involved in temporary works as well as to remind them of their role and
responsibility in ensuring the safety and interest of the public and workers at site are
safeguarded.

1 1
IEM, in response to this concern and to address the problems associated with
temporary works failure, has formed a special committee called the Position Paper
Committee, which was given the mandate to study the causes of failures and to
recommend suitable measures to mitigate such failures. The committee also produced
a Policy Statement that could be forwarded to relevant authorities and agencies so that
appropriate actions can be taken. IEM published a Position Statement in January 2015
entitled “Prevention Of Collapse Of - Part A: Scaffolding And Part B: Falsework”, which
was prepared by the Civil And Structural Technical Division.

MBAM published a “Handbook For Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment & Risk
Control (HIRARC)”, which create a better understanding and awareness on hazards
and risk associated with scaffolding.

The CIDB Act 520 (Amendment 2011) has authorised CIDB to regulate the construction
products as per Section 33C(1), Section 33D and Section 33D(2). All construction
materials/products listed in the Fourth Schedule of Act 520 (Amendment 2011) are
required to obtain CIDB’s Certificate of Standards Compliance or “Perakuan Pematuhan
Standard” (PPS). Scaffolding is included in the Fourth Schedule for conformity to the
Malaysian Standard MS 1462 series of standards.

In this Construction Industry Standard (CIS) publication, all product requirements are
referred to the Malaysian Standard MS 1462 series of product standards for materials
and scaffolding systems. However, several diagrams, values and tables are reproduced
in this CIS for illustration purposes only as to facilitate an overall understanding and
appreciation on various types of scaffolding systems. Should there be any
discrepancies between these illustrations and the information and requirements in the
product standards, except for clause 5.2.5 Marking, which is an addition in this CIS,
the information in the product standards shall prevail.

Although both scaffolding and falsework are categorised under the same heading of
temporary works, the CIS for scaffolding and falsework are published separately due to
the difference in their functions.

This CIS is on specifically on Scaffolding only.

by contractor’s designated person and approval by PETW.

5.3 Planning, product approval, design and submission for construction of

scaffolding

The flowchart in Appendix B provides informative guidance on steps that should be

considered by contractor for compliance with the regulatory requirement of the CIDB Act
520 (Amendment 2011) and Factories and Machinery Act 1967 (BOWEC) in the
construction of a scaffolding.

5.3.1. Planning for temporary work and HIRARC

(1) A contractor shall be equipped with proper planning and conduct HIRARC 21 to
ensure safety in the use of scaffolding. The risk level 22 of scaffolding activities should be
established and appropriate action should be taken.

NOTE 21: MBAM has published a “Handbook For Hazard Identification, Risk Analysis & Risk Control”.
The Handbook has, among others, identified hazards related to work activities for erection and
dismantling scaffolding.

NOTE 22: The Handbook in Note 21 has three risk levels.

HIGH: A HIGH risk requires immediate action to control the hazard as detailed in the hierarchy of control,
Actions taken must be documented on the risk assessment form including date of completion.

MEDIUM: A MEDIUM risk requires a planned approach to controlling the hazard and applies temporary
measure if required. Any action taken must be documented on the risk assessment form, including date
of completion.

LOW: A risk identified as LOW may be considered as acceptable and further reduction may not be
necessary. However, if the risk can be resolved quickly and efficiently, control measures should be
implemented and recorded.

(2) For appropriate Class of a Temporary Works, a contractor shall engage a PETW 23 to
deal with the design (which includes analysis and design calculation, specification and
working drawing), endorsement and supervision of the scaffolding.

NOTE 23:
a) The Professional Engineers with Practicing Certificates (see 4.1 (14).
b) The BEM Guidelines No.:001, has established “Guidelines On The Role And Responsibility Of
Professional Engineers”.

22 22
5.3.2 CIDB approval for product

The contractor shall only use scaffolding system and material that conform to the
appropriate MS 1462 series of Malaysian Standard, and have been approved in the
form of ‘Perakuan Pematuhan Standard ’ (PPS)24 issued by CIDB..

NOTE 24: Please refer to Note 7 in clause 5.1.1.

5.3.3 Design and submission

The structural analysis, design calculation, specifications and drawings of a scaffolding

system shall be performed and endorsed by a PETW.

Where design is applicable and required under Class 2, Class 3 Temporary Works or
BOWEC25, it shall be designed, endorsed and supervised by a PETW.

Where required under BOWEC, submission to DOSH shall be the responsibility of the
contractor.

NOTE 25: BOWEC

“Regulation 75. Design and Drawings of Scaffolds to be approved.

(1) Every metal tube scaffold exceeding 40 m in height and every other scaffold exceeding 15 m in height
shall be constructed in accordance with the design and drawings of a Professional Engineer. All other
metal tube scaffolds shall have their designs and drawings approved by the Chief Inspector.
(2) A copy of the design and drawings of the structure shall be submitted to the Chief Inspector for his
record prior to the erection of the structure.
(3) A copy of the design drawings certified by the Professional Engineer shall be made available at the
worksite for inspection by an Inspector.”

5.4 Material selection, quality check, erection, maintenance, alterations,

dismantling, storage and care

In general, scaffolding material and system are likely to be used repeatedly in its life
cycle - from its first usage until it is discarded. The flowchart in Appendix C illustrates a
possible process flowchart of a scaffolding from receiving and selection of material,
quality check, erection, maintenance, dismantling, storage and care.

5.4.1 Material selection

All scaffolding components and materials received at a construction site shall be visually
inspected for damages and proper markings by the contractor’s designated person.

23 23
Damaged or not marked component shall be rejected and shall be removed from the
construction site. The results of inspection shall be recorded in the receiving inspection
form (Appendix D).

5.4.2 Quality check

There are two types of checks, which are routine site quality check and periodic site
quality check.

5.4.2.1 Routine site quality check (RSQC)

(1) Testing for RSQC, applicable only to used and refurbished materials, shall be
carried out on the scaffolding components at the construction site. The selection of
sample shall be conducted by PETW 26 on a random basis at any time during
construction. The sample size, frequency and testing shall comply with the requirement
in Table 6a.

NOTE 26: For projects classified under Temporary Works Class 2 or class 3 and uses less than 1,000
pieces of components, the PETW responsible for the project can give a waiver on test for Quality Check.
An example of such situation is a renovation of one house or construction of a bungalow or a house less
than three storey.

NOTE 27: For modular scaffolding, the components that are specified in the code of practice and
standards shall be tested accordingly. The components that are not listed for testing in the code of
practice or standards, the manufacturer shall specify the components to be tested, as declared in the
manufacturer’s specification and system configuration.

24 24
(2) The test report shall be submitted by the contractor to PETW, who shall review
the test results. All tested component shall comply with the requirements in the product
standards before the scaffolding is allowed to be erected at the construction site.

(3) If the sample fails the RSQC, a second test shall be carried out on a new sample
randomly selected by PETW. Should the second test fail too, the batch of scaffolding at
the construction site shall be removed by the contractor from the construction site.

5.4.2.2 Periodic site quality check (PSQC)

A PSQC should be conducted for the purpose to ensure all scaffolding at site comply
with the set standard. The sample size, frequency and testing shall comply with the
requirement in Table 6b.

PROCEDURE ON STANDARD COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION
(IMPORTED CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS)

FOREWORD
This handbook is published as a guide for importers, agents and forwarding
agents on importing products under the Act 520 (Amendment 2011) and
Customs (Prohibitions of Imports) Order 1998 (Amendment 2012). The
content of this handbook provides a guide on the procedures of importing
construction products into Malaysia. All imported construction products are
required to undergo a compliance process according to the requirements of
Malaysian Standards (MS) before it can be distributed in the local market. A
list of reasons for non-compliance that often occurs, which results in the
construction products being rejected at the customs gates, is also listed.

This publication aims for relevant parties to avoid unnecessary waste of time,
cost and energy. Thus, it is hoped that this handbook will act as a useful
reference for importers, agents and forwarding agents to increase the
efficiency in importing construction products, as in the Act 520 (Amendment
2011) and Customs Order (Prohibitions of Imports) 1998 (Amendment 2012).
