chair of HSE receives key new Guidance from the NASC
Judith Hackitt CBE, Chair of the HSE was recently presented TG20:08, the new technical guidance note for all tube and fitting scaffolding within the UK, at the recent Safety and Health Exhibition held at the Birmingham NEC in May 2009.
NASC (National Access and Scaffolding Confederation) marketing manager Neil Tomlinson spent some time with Judith explaining the NASC’s latest guidance and how the HSE had also been closely involved in development of the content.
TG20:08 has been designed as an important, practical and user friendly guide for scaffolding contractors and designers and will also be of use to any construction professional working with scaffolding contractors.
TG20:08 details how tube and fitting scaffolding can be erected to comply with the European standard BS EN 12811-1, which supersedes BS 5973.
Neil then presented Judith with a copy of TG20:08 which she gratefully received.
Judith was on a whirlwind tour of the show but made a point of stopping at the Access Industry area to meet and discuss issues with all the access industry associations including the NASC.
