Scaffolding: Guidance update
August 1st 2008 Recognising the importance
of ensuring that tube and
fitting scaffolds interpret the
requirements of BS EN
12811 correctly, the
National Access and
Scaffolding Confederation
is in the process of updating
its Technical Guidance Note;
TG20:05.
The HSE has worked with
the NASC in the preparation
of revised guidance to
resolve the difficulties
encountered in BS EN
12811-1. This new document
(TG20:08), which will be
published later this year, is
divided into two volumes.
Volume One provides
practical advice, information
and conditions for basic
scaffolds that can be built,
without calculation. Volume
Two provides technical
information and advice for
the scaffold arrangements
generally outside the range
of Volume One. More articles from The National Access And Scaffolding Confederation (NASC): |
