Choosing a scaffolder
Plain-English guides on what a scaffolder does, what to ask before you hire a scaffolding firm, and what paperwork you should expect on handover.
Before you hire a scaffolding firm
- When does a scaffold need a design?
- Unless a scaffold is a basic configuration covered by recognised guidance, such as NASC's TG20 for tube and fitting scaffolds or the manufacturer's guidance for system scaffolds, it should be designed by calculation by a competent person. That is the work a scaffolding design firm does. Source: HSE scaffold checklist
- How often should a scaffold be inspected?
- A scaffold used for construction should be inspected by a competent person before it is used for the first time and then every 7 days until it is removed. A good scaffolding firm will tell you who is doing that and how it is recorded. Source: HSE work at height FAQs
