This guidance is for people who have management, supervisory or other health and safety responsibilities in scaffolding yards and intended as an aid to health, safety and environmental management and help reduce the number of injuries, cases of occupational ill health or harm to the environment.
Where it is not reasonably practicable to avoid entering a confined space to undertake work, the employer or self-employed person is responsible for ensuring that a safe system of work is used. This recently updated guidance outlines the hazards associated with Confined Space Entry. 7 pages
This guidance note has been revised to take account of the changes in the Noise at Work Regulations. The erection and dismantling of scaffolding can create quite high levels of noise. The general moving and storage of scaffolding materials can be quite noisy and other related activities such as abrasive wheel cutters, bench mounted circular saws and drills all generate noise levels that could be detrimental to health that may require the employer to provide hearing protection and the employees to use it correctly.
This revision has been a fine-tuned following a systematic review of the guidance and understanding the realisation of substantial health and safety improvements in work areas previously targeted. The core principles of SG4 remain unchanged, albeit with continued emphasis on the 'Scaffolders' Safe Zone' method of working. To get the summary of changes to SG4, email healthandsafety@nasc.org.uk . 61 pages. This guidance is available for pdf download only.
