Dear Mr. Corbin:

This is in response to your letter of August 30, 1983, addressed to Mr. Roy Gurham, raising some technical questions involving mobile construction scaffolding.

We have reviewed the conditions described, in your letter for a scaffold tower with the height not exceeding three times the motorized base dimension. Based on our review it would appear that if, in fact, your scaffold tower were properly installed, used and maintained, it would meet the intent of 29 CFR 1926.451(a)(1) through (a)(21).

If I may be of further assistance, please let me know.

Sincerely,



John B. Miles, Jr., Director
Directorate of Field Operations
