NASC yesterday launched SG4:15 ‘Preventing Falls in Scaffolding Operations’ guidance. As anticipated, many of the principles of SG4 remain unchanged in this update, however SG4:15 provides more guidance on systems of work and available equipment to help comply. SG4:15 also contains several new areas of guidance that have been included to reflect the availability of new innovations and changes to recognised ‘good practice’ The new additions include guidance on: Chimney scaffolds Bridging with beams Floor height lifts Cantilever scaffolds New PFPE (Personal Fall Protection Equipment) Loading bay gate installation
NASC have made available the new guidance as a FREE download.
