Safety
The paperwork is the job.
Anyone can put tube up. Being able to show it was designed, inspected and signed off is what separates a scaffold from a pile of steel leaning on a house.
Scaffolding is one of the few trades where the thing that keeps people alive is invisible in the finished article. A tie you cannot see from the pavement, a brace that went in with the lift rather than after it, a guardrail that was on before anyone stepped out onto the boards.
None of that is optional and none of it is a selling point. It is the baseline. What follows is simply what we do on every job, from a chimney on a terrace to a full elevation on a street that has to stay open.
What we work to
Three documents, one standard.
CISRS
Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme
The card scheme that says a scaffolder has been trained and assessed for the work they are doing. Cards are on the job and available for you to check on arrival.
TG20:21
NASC technical guidance for tube-and-fitting scaffolding
The current guidance for tube-and-fitting scaffolds. Standard configurations get a compliance sheet. Anything outside it gets a drawing and calculations before it goes up.
BS EN 12811
The European standard for temporary works equipment
What a designed scaffold is calculated against when the job falls outside the guidance — loadings, deflection and the wind exposure at that specific address.
These are independent organisations. We follow their guidance and hold what we say we hold; we do not speak for them, and their marks are not reproduced on this site.
The routine
What happens on every job.
Before the wagon leaves
- Site-specific RAMS written for the job, not lifted from a template
- Design and calculations where the scaffold falls outside TG20:21
- Permits, inductions and pavement licences arranged in advance
While it is up
- Handover certificate before anyone works from the structure
- Inspection every seven days, recorded and sent to whoever is running the job
- An extra inspection after any named storm, impact or alteration
- Scafftag at the access point so nobody has to guess
When it changes
- No alteration by anyone other than our own operatives
- Re-inspection and a fresh certificate after every alteration
- Design re-issued before the change is made, never afterwards
Cover.
The company is fully insured, with public liability cover of £10m. Certificates are available on request before you appoint us, rather than after something has happened.
