  • Property size
  • Duration
  • Access
  • Pavement/highway permits
  • Complexity
  • Number of lifts

Before the work starts

  • Tell the scaffolder what work will be done from the scaffold and what loads or access the trade needs.
  • Clear the erection area and identify fragile roofs, conservatories, overhead cables and access restrictions.
  • If the scaffold will stand on a pavement or public highway, make sure the required licence is arranged.

Safety note

Do not alter, remove ties from or climb incomplete scaffolding yourself. Scaffolds need competent erection and inspection, with extra requirements where they affect a public highway.
