Comprehensive guidance on how to provide safe and compliant temporary edge protection for flat and sloping roofs with an angle of up to 10°.
TG1:22 provides guidance on the requirements for Class A type edge protection, constructed with tube and fittings, in compliance with BS EN 13374:2013+A1:2018, together with the basic elements of construction. This includes edge protection for flat and sloping roofs up to an angle of 10 degrees as well as for open floors. This document includes 15 No. generic design drawings, which may be used without the need for a bespoke design, provided that environmental conditions and roof/floor structures are suitable.
This guidance is available for pdf download only. Please note it is NOT an add-on to the TG20:21 ePortal and does not create compliance sheets. For a more detailed summary of TG1:22 please click here.
This guidance explains the differences between ‘supplementary’ and ‘check’ couplers and gives typical design applications where high coupler forces could be expected and where additional loadbearing capacity to connections may be required. It also contains guidance on coupler configurations and expected safe working loads (SWLs) where supplementary couplers are used. To ensure that SWL values are as accurate as possible, data provided within this document is based on practical testing rather than calculation. 2 pages
This document provides best practice for the use and application of steel and aluminium prefabricated beams. Included is information regarding beam types, uses, joints, handling, transportation and storage. Due to the wide variation of beams available on the market, it has not been possible to include individual load capacities, but information regarding tension and compression chords, correct methods of lacing, bracing and connections to standards and puncheons provides vital information to ensure that beams are correctly installed to support their maximum safe working loads. This guidance is available for pdf download only.
The TG20 Operational Guide contains detailed practical guidance for most common types of scaffolding, supported by structural research and calculation. Guidance is provided for a range of standard structures which includes independent scaffolding, interior birdcages, chimney stack scaffolds, loading bays, ladder-access towers, free-standing towers, lift shaft towers, putlog scaffolding, exterior birdcages, tube and fitting mobile towers, tube and fitting loading bays without beams, and tied independent scaffolds with three inside boards. NASC members can purchase 10 or more copies of the TG20:21 Operational Guide book at the discounted rate of £25 per unit. To do so, please email sales@nasc.org.uk
Many free-standing scaffolding structures, such as access towers, major signboards, fences and enclosures, need to be anchored to the ground, primarily to resist wind forces. Whilst all structures requiring restraint via anchoring to the ground should be subject to a bespoke design produced by a competent engineer, the guidance considers different types of anchors available and typical indicative holding capacities, the possibility of disturbing underground services, the use of guys and scaffold tube restraint. 6 pages
