David Mosley, who is also a UEG board member and Vice President, will share his insights and experience from the UK scaffolding sector, where scaffold inspection is regulated by the Work at Height Regulations 2005. He will also highlight the benefits of NASC’s guidance on scaffold inspection, providing practical advice and checklists for scaffolders and inspectors.

The second event will be the UEG Annual General Meeting (AGM), scheduled for Thursday, October 26th, 2023, in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
