Our health and safety details
Scaffolds that meet safety requirements are necessary for a wide variety of household repairs and restorations. Typical residential projects include roof tile replacement, double glazed window installation, and building additions.
The scaffolding industry’s standards are created by both government (UK and EU) regulation and long-existing professional groups. The following regulations and organisations are pertinent:
1974 Act on Health and Safety at Work
The Health and Safety Executive
Regulations on Work at Height 2005 and Regulations on Work at Height (Amendment) 2007
The Confederation of National Access and Scaffolding
The Scheme for the Registration of Scaffolders in the Construction Industry.
These regulations and regulatory authorities scrutinise scaffolding services provided on residential properties just as rigorously as those provided on business or industrial properties. Indeed, there is a case to be made that special considerations must be made since residents frequently continue to live in, access, and depart their houses while work is being performed.
Professional scaffolders must analyse and address these unique dangers.

TG20 Standards
Residential scaffolding also needs the use of safety-certified equipment. This category comprises tubes, fittings, and platform boards, among others.
The National Access and Scaffolding Confederation publishes practise guidelines, dubbed TG20, for building safe scaffolds and the residential scaffolding hire sector to guarantee that only high-quality tube and fitting scaffolding is used at all times.
TG20 primarily defines safe processes of work for scaffolding construction, use, and removal. Among the topics covered in the guideline are the following:
Accessibility along the whole length of the working area
Load bearing capabilities of several types of platforms’ boards
Additional details on the distinctions between sheeted scaffolding and debris netting
The maximum permissible height for netting and sheeting scaffolds
Proper lift height practise
Appropriate usage of light-duty buildings, which are more frequently utilised on residential projects
Complete definition of fundamental scaffolds, which are also more suited to operate on individual residential homes.
Recommendations for conducting scaffold inspections
Standards for the ties that must be used on independent residential scaffolding, which is a structure that must be utilised in areas where residents live in listed buildings.
Scaffold bracing in practise and suggestions.
