(b) Spalls or needle beams shall be of not less than 3-inch by 8-inch lumber, and shall not overhang more than 5 feet unless additional support is provided.
(c) Spall pins shall be of not less than three-fourths-inch round steel, and shall project not less than 2 inches beyond the uprights at each end. The diameter of the holes for the spall pins when bored shall not exceed the diameter of the spall pins by more than one-sixteenth inch (1/16").

(e) Staging shall not clear the hulls by a distance of more than 8 inches except at the bow and stern where the converging hull lines prohibit. In all cases, however, the space between hull and staging shall be held to a minimum.
(f) Staging shall be supported by at least 3 spalls whenever possible. Planks shall overlap the spalls by 2 feet or be secured to the spalls.

(h) Standard guardrails shall be installed on the open sides and ends of all staging 5 feet or more in elevation above the dock or building ways. Guardrails shall be attached securely to the scaffolding upright or horse. The guardrails shall be in the same vertical plane as the outside edge of the outboard staging planks and the toeboards, where required, shall be installed so that tools or material cannot make their way between them and the staging planks.
(i) Where staging passes over established aisles, runways, or passageways, toeboards shall be installed on the side of such staging farthest from the hull. Toeboards shall be of not less than 1-inch by 4-inch lumber or stock of equivalent strength and rigidity.
