Our Standard Inspection Includes A Thorough Examination That Ensures:
That the platforms comply with statutory regulations and the recommendations of TG20:21
That both the access and egress are suitable and safe
That the foundations are adequate, and are not likely to be disturbed or undermined.
That the lower portion of the scaffold is not liable to damage by interference, accident, traffic or any other extenuating issues
That the scaffold is appropriately constructed to carry loads, following the guidance from the TG20:21 compliance sheet or design drawing.
That the scaffold is correctly tied, anchored and braced to maintain stability under load and environmental factors.
That the anchors have been installed and proof tested by a competent person. Once the inspector has received the anchor pull test they will save it on file
