Who is authorized to install and dismantle both a CCLP and a mast climber?

The authorization to install and dismantle both a CCLP (Counterweight suspended platform) and a mast climber is designated to a licensed basic rigger or intermediate scaffolder because these roles require specialized training and knowledge of the safety protocols, load capacities, and rigging techniques necessary for such complex equipment. Licensed riggers and scaffolders undergo rigorous training to ensure they can safely handle the intricacies involved in erecting and taking down structures that support personnel and equipment high above the ground.

These professionals are equipped to recognize potential hazards and implement appropriate safety measures, which is essential for preventing accidents on construction sites. Hence, having a licensed individual in this capacity not only complies with regulatory standards but also promotes a safer work environment.

In contrast, while site supervisors may oversee projects, they typically do not possess the specific technical training required for the actual installation and dismantling of such equipment. Experienced workers, although they may have practical knowledge, might lack the formal qualifications needed to meet safety and regulatory requirements. Similarly, trained technicians may have a certain level of expertise, but if they do not specifically hold the necessary rigging or scaffolding licenses, they would not be authorized to perform these tasks.
