Understanding the Use of Binding Wire in Scaffolding and Safety Standards

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone provide information on whether we can use binding wire for tying planks in scaffolds? If so, could I also know the diameter of the binding wire as per the IS standard? It would also be great if anyone could provide the IS specification document for scaffolding.

Thanks and regards,

Dear Mr. Vamsi Akunuri,

I'm not sure if you're looking for something like the following. You may refer to the attached document for the necessary information.

Hi Vamsi,
See the animation picture if something happens like that TIEWIRE can hold the planks??
I don't have scaffolding IS standard some of our members can help you on IS standard.

Dear sir,

Thank you very much for the information provided. I also want to inquire about Risk assessment for IT. If you are able to provide the information, I will be very much grateful.

Hi everyone,

Thank you very much for the replies. I got some information from your valuable feedback. However, one thing is still confusing me. On the scaffolding, we use a wooden plank as a base. Can this wooden plank be tied up with binding wire to the scaffolding? If yes, what should be the size/diameter of the binding wire? If not, what are the other types of wires that we can use? I apologize if I am asking many questions. I just want to make myself clear. Please do not think otherwise.

Thanks and regards,

For tying the wooden planks/boards, rope is preferred. I have not come across the tying of binding wire. IS 2750 (scaffold) does not specify the use of binding wire for such purposes.

Dear Pon,

Thank you very much for your valuable input. I have noted it. Also, I need another piece of information if you can provide that; it would be great. If you have any documentation on HIRA for the IT sector, please share it.

Thank you!
