The effects of heat on scaffolding equipment can have a significant and permanent effect on its strength and performance. This guidance explains the potential issues and the action to be taken if equipment has been subjected to a fire or similar conditions. This guidance is available for pdf download only.
Traditionally, flame retardant timber decking has long been a fundamental requirement for scaffolding in various sectors of the industry. However, in the light of the ‘Grenfell’ disaster, there has been a substantial increase in the number of contracts which specify the need for flame retardant scaffold boards. This document gives details of various fire retardant treatments available, the recommended specification and guidance for care and storage. This guidance is available for pdf download only. 2 pages.
TG20 provides the definitive guidance for scaffolding constructed with tube and fittings throughout the UK. TG20:21 builds on TG20:13, and makes the eGuide software, Design Guide and Operational Guide available via the new NASC ePortal, on a subscription basis. The eGuide produces pdf compliance sheets, which now include more information and an illustration. The guides are fully searchable online. The ePortal is available here from computers, tablets and smart phones via web browsers. Each subscription gives access from multiple machines, but only one machine at a time. Purchase and use of a subscription implies acceptance of the subscription agreement, found here, by all users. The price shown includes VAT at 20%. If you are already using TG20:21 and wish to continue to use the same login details please do not purchase a new subscription, please purchase a subscription renewal here.
This guide is intended to aid those who commission scaffold designs by summarising the responsibilities of each party involved at each stage of the process. It also details the requirements for preparing a design brief with information required by the Designer to enable a suitable and sufficient design to be produced, as well as outlining the design process, checking requirements and expected output information. This document is complimented by CG6: Scaffold Design. 6 pages.
Aluminium tubes, prefabricated beams and other components are widely used throughout the scaffolding industry. Whilst aluminium is not as stiff as steel and will deflect more when subjected to equivalent loads, it is much lighter and provides great advantages with regard to manual handling or the reduction weight. As aluminium couplers are not readily available, aluminium tube and beams are invariably connected with steel couplers and joint pins. Unfortunately, when two dissimilar metals such as aluminium and steel are in contact, a phenomenon known as ‘galvanic corrosion’ can occur where the corrosion of one of the metals, in this case aluminium, can be greatly accelerated. In severe cases this could seriously affect the integrity of the scaffold structure.
In order to be able to visually identify EN74 certified couplers, this guidance document identifies the specification and minimum markings to be found on all EN74-1:2005 and EN74-1:2022 scaffold couplers, together with brief details regarding the differences between the two standards. This product is available in PDF format only.
