This guidance explains the differences between ‘supplementary’ and ‘check’ couplers and gives typical design applications where high coupler forces could be expected and where additional loadbearing capacity to connections may be required. It also contains guidance on coupler configurations and expected safe working loads (SWLs) where supplementary couplers are used. To ensure that SWL values are as accurate as possible, data provided within this document is based on practical testing rather than calculation.

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.
This guidance note is concerned with advice for the safe erection, use and dismantling of temporary suspended chutes intended for the conveyance of waste construction materials. The guidance covers chutes constructed of detachable sections made of metal or non-metallic material, attached to scaffolding. 4 pages
When in use, scaffold boards are often subjected to harsh conditions and mistreatment and may deteriorate to such an extent that they become unsafe. To ensure that they remain in a safe and serviceable condition, they should be subjected to regular inspections/checks and where necessary repaired/refurbished to ensure that they remain fit for purpose. This document provides guidance on the inspection, care and maintenance of scaffold boards to maximise their operational service life. This guidance is available for pdf download only.
This document provides best practice for the use and application of steel and aluminium prefabricated beams. Included is information regarding beam types, uses, joints, handling, transportation and storage. Due to the wide variation of beams available on the market, it has not been possible to include individual load capacities, but information regarding tension and compression chords, correct methods of lacing, bracing and connections to standards and puncheons provides vital information to ensure that beams are correctly installed to support their maximum safe working loads. This guidance is available for pdf download only.
