scaffolds  \nPurpose  \nThis guide has been prepared by the Home Builders Health and Safety Forum to improve the quality of scaffold structures on home building sites and to enable scaffolding contractors to consistently apply appropriate standards.  \nThe document is intended for use by Health and Safety Forum members companies that have a responsibility for the management, use, monitoring and provision of scaffolding.  \nForum members have agreed that they will develop their own management systems so that the principals of this specification can be implemented in their own organisations. It may be the case that some will have individual requirements which go beyond these minimum standards.  \n1.0 Scope  \n1.1 This specification identifies the minimum requirements and standards for scaffolding on homebuilding developments. For the purposes of this specification ‘the Company’ will be the Employer/Principal contractor and the ‘Contractor’ will be the designated scaffolding contractor.  \n1.2 Where a scaffold design and stability calculations are required, these must be undertaken by a competent person. An erection, use and dismantling plan must be drawn up i.e. method statement, including design drawings of scaffold requirements.  \n1.3 Where permitted system scaffold should be erected and dismantled in accordance with the manufacturers or suppliers user guide, this must be available to the scaffolders on site and a copy held in the site office. Any proposed alterations or modifications to the manufacturer’s user guide should be designed by a competent person.  \n2.0 Standards  \n2.1 All scaffolds must be constructed in accordance with the current relevant BS, EN, Construction (Design and Management) Regulations, Work at Height Regulations, and Industry Technical Guidance notes (i.e. TG20 and SG4), irrespective whether or not detailed in this specification.  \n2.2 Consideration must be given to the wind loadings on scaffold, in particular BS6399 and the structure designed and constructed accordingly.  \n2.3 Any anomalies between this specification and current health and safety regulations should be notified in writing by the Contractor to the Company.  \n2.4 The Contractor must satisfy themselves that the area is clear of debris and the ground is suitable for the construction of the scaffold. The erection of scaffold signifies that the Contractor is satisfied that the ground is suitable for the erection of the scaffold.  \n2.5 Setting out will be the responsibility of the Contractor in agreement with the Company, and on consideration of the site traffic/pedestrian management plans. Particular attention must be given to door openings, so clear access is available, the locations of loading bays/ladders/staircases, and balconies.  \n3.0 Materials  \n3.1 The Contractor must ensure that all materials are satisfactory for ","cbCaifmjBR1ZQo8W","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifmjBR1ZQo8W","pdf",215254,12,"English","# Purpose\n# 1.0 Scope\n## 1.1 Company roles and definitions\n## 1.2 Design competence and method statements\n## 1.3 System scaffold erection and manufacturer guidance\n# 2.0 Standards\n## 2.1 Compliance with BS/EN and regulations\n## 2.2 Wind loadings and design\n## 2.3 Notification of anomalies\n## 2.4 Ground suitability and debris clearance\n## 2.5 Setting out and access/traffic considerations\n# 3.0 Materials\n## 3.1 General material suitability\n## 3.2 System scaffold compliance requirements\n## 3.3 Component compliance and load resistance\n## 3.4 Tube requirements and marking\n## 3.5 Board inspection standards\n## 3.6 Fittings compliance\n# 4.0 Timber Frame Construction\n## 4.1 Independent stability requirements\n## 4.2 Suitable ties and testing evidence\n## 4.3 Positioning and protective handrails","[{\"question\":\"What does the scaffold specification template define for homebuilding developments?\",\"answer\":\"It identifies minimum requirements and standards for scaffolding on homebuilding developments, including roles, competence, planning, material requirements, and key construction considerations.\"},{\"question\":\"Who must carry out scaffold design and stability calculations when required?\",\"answer\":\"A competent person must undertake design and stability calculations, and an erection, use and dismantling plan (method statement with design drawings) must be produced.\"},{\"question\":\"What standards and regulations must scaffolds comply with?\",\"answer\":\"All scaffolds must be constructed in accordance with current relevant BS, EN, UK CDM regulations, Work at Height Regulations, and industry technical guidance notes such as TG20 and SG4, regardless of whether they are listed in the template.\"}]","Generic Scaffold Specification Template - Homebuilding Scaffolds | PDF"]
