Comprehensive guidance on how to provide safe and compliant temporary edge protection for flat and sloping roofs with an angle of up to 10°.
TG1:22 provides guidance on the requirements for Class A type edge protection, constructed with tube and fittings, in compliance with BS EN 13374:2013+A1:2018, together with the basic elements of construction. This includes edge protection for flat and sloping roofs up to an angle of 10 degrees as well as for open floors. This document includes 15 No. generic design drawings, which may be used without the need for a bespoke design, provided that environmental conditions and roof/floor structures are suitable.
This guidance is available for pdf download only. Please note it is NOT an add-on to the TG20:21 ePortal and does not create compliance sheets. For a more detailed summary of TG1:22 please click here.
The effects of heat on scaffolding equipment can have a significant and permanent effect on its strength and performance. This guidance explains the potential issues and the action to be taken if equipment has been subjected to a fire or similar conditions. This guidance is available for pdf download only.
Aluminium tubes, prefabricated beams and other components are widely used throughout the scaffolding industry. Whilst aluminium is not as stiff as steel and will deflect more when subjected to equivalent loads, it is much lighter and provides great advantages with regard to manual handling or the reduction weight. As aluminium couplers are not readily available, aluminium tube and beams are invariably connected with steel couplers and joint pins. Unfortunately, when two dissimilar metals such as aluminium and steel are in contact, a phenomenon known as ‘galvanic corrosion’ can occur where the corrosion of one of the metals, in this case aluminium, can be greatly accelerated. In severe cases this could seriously affect the integrity of the scaffold structure.
This document provides guidance for covering 50mm gaps in scaffold platforms through which standards protrude, as well as for covering larger gaps in decking which, due to width restrictions or obstructions, cannot be fully boarded in the conventional way. This guidance is PDF only.
Scaffold board nailplates are specially stamped toothed strips of galvanised steel that can be applied to new or used boards to prevent or to repair existing end splits. Experience gained over many years by the scaffold industry indicates that the service life of a board can be substantially extended if nailplates are fitted. This revised and updated version contains additional information and guidance on the specification and fitting of nailplates.
