SG4 User Guide – Preventing Falls in Scaffolding Operations

The SG4 User Guide – Preventing Falls in Scaffolding Operations has been developed to provide scaffolders with practical, accessible guidance on preventing falls during the erection, alteration and dismantling of scaffolding. Based on the principles and recommendations contained within the full SG4 guidance, the User Guide places key information directly into the hands of those carrying out scaffolding operations on site.

The guide focuses on the measures used to prevent falls from height, including the use of advanced guardrail systems, collective protection methods and personal fall arrest equipment. Through clear explanations and practical examples, it helps scaffolders understand how these controls should be applied to maintain safe working practices throughout the scaffolding process.

Designed as a companion to the comprehensive SG4 publication, the User Guide provides an easy-to-use reference for training and day-to-day site activities, supporting the consistent implementation of industry-recognised fall prevention methods across the workforce.
