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.
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.
