34 Pa. Code § 6.16 - Carpenters' bracket scaffolds
(a)
Platforms. Platform boards shall be laid tightly together and
shall overlap the brackets by at least 4 inches but not more than 6 inches. The
boards shall be heavy enough to prevent springiness of the platform.

brackets underneath each board. In the erection of the brackets, provision
shall be made for the placement of guardrails and toeboards.

improvised depending upon the type of building. The bolt shall be at least 3/4
inch in diameter and shall be long enough to project at least 1 inch beyond the
nut when in place.
