Many scaffolding contractors are unaware of the requirements of BS 5975:2019, ‘Code of practice for temporary works procedures and permissible stress design of falsework’, which contains information regarding procedural controls for the management of temporary works. These controls not only apply to falsework, but also to all types of scaffolding. Whilst BS 5975 is not a legal requirement, it is often used by Health and Safety Executive (HSE) inspectors, when visiting sites, as the expected benchmark for appropriate controls required for the management of temporary works on site.
The NASC has therefore produced a brief, simple and concise guide to assist scaffolding contractors and others involved with the delivery and management of temporary works. This includes an outline of the requirements and how they can be simply and practically achieved.
This guidance is available for pdf download only.
