SG6:22 User Guide – Manual Handling in the Scaffolding Industry

The SG6:22 User Guide – Manual Handling in the Scaffolding Industry has been developed to provide scaffolders with practical, accessible guidance on managing manual handling activities associated with scaffolding operations. Based on the principles and recommendations contained within the full SG6:22 guidance, the User Guide places key information directly into the hands of those involved in the handling, transportation and movement of scaffolding materials.

The guide focuses on the manual handling challenges commonly encountered within the scaffolding industry, providing clear explanations of risk factors, handling techniques and methods for reducing the likelihood of musculoskeletal injuries. Through practical guidance and industry-specific examples, it helps scaffolders understand how manual handling risks can be identified, assessed and controlled during everyday operations.

Designed as a companion to the comprehensive SG6:22 publication, the User Guide provides an easy-to-use reference for training and day-to-day site activities, supporting the consistent application of good manual handling practices throughout the scaffolding workforce.
