SCAFFOLDING APPRECIATION BASIC SCAFFOLD INSPECTION (TUBE AND SYSTEM TYPE SCAFFOLDS) Duration: 2 days Target Group: Managers/Supervisors who are responsible for inspecting scaffolds and completing statutory inspection reports in accordance with the Work at Height Regulations 2005. Objectives: At the end of the training the candidates will understand how to inspect BASIC scaffold structures in accordance with Statutory Regulations. SYSTEM SCAFFOLD TRAINING There is some confusion as to the accepted duration and content of a system scaffold training course. This depends upon the experience of the candidates with system scaffolds or with tube and fitting scaffolds, what height they will be required to work at, and what type of scaffold they will be required to build. The Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme (CISRS) recommend a 2 day System Scaffold Product Training Scheme (SSPTS) course for a minimum Part 1 Qualified Scaffolder. For those with little or no experience, working to a height of 6mtrs on a basic scaffold, they recommend a 5 day Basic Access System Erector (BASE) course. Generation Training is currently working towards CISRS Accredited Training Provider status, and intends to offer both of the above courses in the near future. SYSTEM SCAFFOLD TRAINING COURSE SYSTEM SCAFFOLD STAIR TOWER SG4:05 PREVENTING FALLS IN SCAFFOLDING AND FALSEWORK Duration: ½ day Attendees: All scaffolding operatives, supervisors and manager Objectives: To provide both theoretical and practical knowledge to attendees on how to inspect harnesses and work methods to be used in the safe use of safety harnesses whilst erecting, altering and dismantling scaffolding. Collective Protection Guidance Update
In the 3 year period that has followed the introduction of the latest version of SG4 (SG4:05) collective protection measures have developed considerably in terms of technology, choice, availability, cost, and probably most importantly, have become more user friendly. As the scaffolding industry’s recognised trade association with an ethos of promoting ‘best practice’, the NASC felt it was necessary to release interim guidance (ahead of the planned revision of SG4 in 2010) highlighting the availability and the benefits that can be derived when utilising collective protection measures by its members and the wider industry. SG4:05 Appendix A Interim Guidance on Collective Fall Prevention Systems in Scaffolding. This advice and guidance is intended to provide an overview of new and developing technology and work methods available within the scaffolding industry, and to ensure that a balanced view of all collective fall prevention methods are considered ahead of sole reliance upon personal fall arrest methods. This interim advisory note has been prepared following the statement from HSE that the aspects of “traversing” or “tunnelling” contained within NASC guidance are no longer acceptable and that their withdrawal from industry guidance will be requested at the next update. The NASC are planning to issue a fully revised version of the guidance within 2010. This guidance has been produced with the assistance and input of NASC members and the Health and Safety Executive. It is the view of the NASC that scaffolders will be required to wear suitable fall arrest equipment at all times whilst working because of the tasks associated with moving working platforms, undertaking alterations and performing non standard tasks such as fitting ladder/unit beams etc. To download a PDF copy of the Interim guidance note click here (900kb).
