Temporary support systems are used for decoration purposes only.

Temporary support systems in construction are essential for ensuring safety, stability, and proper load distribution during the construction process.

Temporary support systems are designed to increase construction costs.

Temporary support systems are unnecessary and can be skipped in construction.

Conduct a risk assessment, ensure design by a competent person, provide training, inspect regularly, follow safety regulations

Avoid training

Skip risk assessment

Ignore safety regulations

Traditional timber formwork requires more manual labor and time for setup compared to modern formwork systems.

Traditional timber formwork is more environmentally friendly than modern formwork systems.

Traditional timber formwork is easier to transport than modern formwork systems.

Traditional timber formwork is more cost-effective than modern formwork systems.

Wood scaffolding is more cost-effective

Aluminum scaffolding is heavier than steel

Concrete scaffolding is easier to transport

Steel scaffolding is advantageous due to its strength, durability, and fire resistance.

Aluminum sheets, PVC pipes, and sandbags

Steel beams, wooden planks, and concrete blocks

Ropes, chains, and tires

Vertical members, horizontal members, and diagonal bracing

To ensure safety of workers and integrity of the structure, prevent accidents, and avoid costly repairs.

To save time and money

To test the durability of the materials

Because it's a legal requirement

Guardrails are used for hanging tools and equipment on a construction site.

Guardrails are primarily decorative and do not serve a safety function.

Guardrails are designed to be easily removable to allow for quick access to different areas.

Guardrails play a crucial role in preventing falls and ensuring safety by creating a physical barrier along elevated edges on a construction site.

Use untrained personnel

Conduct risk assessments, provide training, ensure competent design, implement safety measures, conduct regular inspections

Ignore safety protocols

Skip regular inspections

Aluminum scaffolding is lightweight, durable, and easy to assemble, while bamboo scaffolding is eco-friendly, cost-effective, but less durable and requires more maintenance.

Aluminum scaffolding is heavy and difficult to assemble

Bamboo scaffolding is not cost-effective and requires less maintenance

Aluminum scaffolding is not durable and eco-friendly

Load capacity is the minimum weight required for stability.

Load capacity is irrelevant in temporary support systems.

Load capacity refers to the color-coding of the support system.

Load capacity in temporary support systems is the maximum weight or force that the system can safely bear without failing.

Disregard manufacturer's guidelines

Ensure proper bracing and supports, use quality materials, inspect regularly, follow manufacturer's guidelines, have a qualified supervisor.

Use duct tape for securing formwork

Ignore regular inspections

Assuming workers can learn on the job without training

Adequate training for workers involved in temporary works is essential for their safety, productivity, and efficiency.

Providing training only to permanent workers

Neglecting safety measures for temporary workers

Wearing PPE can obstruct vision and hinder communication among workers in temporary works.

PPE increases the weight of workers, making them more prone to accidents in temporary works.

Using PPE creates a physical barrier between workers and potential hazards, reducing the risk of injury or exposure to dangerous elements in temporary works.

Using PPE may lead to a false sense of security, causing workers to take unnecessary risks in temporary works.
