Questions

PiMUS: what people ask

Who must write the PiMUS?

For work at height, the employer has a competent person draft the plan for assembling, using and dismantling the scaffold, matched to how complex the chosen scaffold is. It is made available to the supervising preposto and the workers involved.

When does a scaffold need an engineer's design?

When it is over 20 metres high, or its configuration isn't covered in the maker's calculation report, or it is a large or complex temporary structure. The design includes strength and stability calculations and a construction drawing, signed by a licensed engineer or architect.

Can one PiMUS cover several jobs?

The PiMUS can take the form of a general plan, completed with instructions and detailed designs for the special layouts of the scaffold on each job.
