NASC SG35:21 “Handover of Scaffold Structures and First Scaffold Inspection” is a safety guidance document aimed at principal contractors, temporary works coordinators, scaffolding companies, supervisors, and inspection personnel. It focuses on the procedures required to formally hand over a scaffold to the customer or site team, including completion checks, documentation, and communication of safe use information. The guidance also covers the requirements for the first statutory inspection following handover, ensuring the scaffold is structurally sound, compliant, and fit for purpose before being used. By following this guidance, companies can reduce risk, meet legal inspection duties, and promote safe scaffold use from the outset.
