• Introduced in 1979 by the Construction Industry Joint
Council in conjunction with the NASC
• Training courses developed by the Construction Industry
Training Board in consultation with the Scaffolding
Industry
• A network of accredited Centres established throughout
the UK

Summary
•
CISRS the only skills card for scaffolders recognised by Industry
•
Four categories available

CISRS affiliated to CSCS
•
Obtained by completing NASC approved training courses and achieving an appropriate
N/SVQ
•
Renewable every 5 years
•
Training and achievement grants available to CITB levy payers
SG4:05 Preventing Falls in scaffolding and
Falsework
Avoid work at height so far as is reasonably
Practicable:
Not normally an option for the Scaffolding
Contractor
AVOID WORK
AT HEIGHTS
Designers and Principal Contractor should
Identify opportunities to avoid work at height.
Scaffolding and Falsework Contractors should promote
Innovations to their client that can avoid work at height.
Where it is Not reasonably practicable to avoid work at
Height you should consider:
Preventing all falls from height where there is a risk of injury regardless
of height.
PREVENT FALLS
Collective protection measures as a priority over personal protection
Use equipment (such as guard-rails) to provide collective fall protection
& prevent falls occurring before resorting to personal protection such as
work restraint harness and lanyards for example
MITIGATE THE
DISTANCE AND
CONSEQUENCES
OF A FALL
Where it is not reasonably practicable to avoid
Or prevent falls; then,
The distance a person can fall and the consequences
(potential injury) must be minimised.
Consider collective protection measures priority over
Personal protection.
Collective protection in the form of soft landing systems
(e.g. Air-Bags and safety nets) are not commonly a practical
Solution for scaffolding.
GIVE COLLECTIVE
PROTECTION PRIORITY
OVER PERSONAL
PROTECTION
Personal protection systems (safety harness) Must be worn
And attached to a suitable anchor point – in accordance
With this guide – when at risk of falling.

TG20:05
TG20:0?
Introduction of different widths of Working platform
Revised the allowable Facade bracing patterns
Revised the guidance for the installation of plan bracing
Revised guidance for the installation of ledger bracing
Guidance on the layout of ties
Revised load classes for Putlog scaffolds
Revised maximum safe working heights
Options for a reduced Bay length intoduced
Conditions for basic scaffolds
Is a standard scaffold
Load classes, maximum bay lengths comply with Table 1 TG20:0?
There are only 2 working lifts ,one fully loaded and one 50% loaded
Lift height is not greater than 2.0m (1st lift may be 2.7, maximum
The scaffold is not subject to loading of materials by mechanical means.
The wind factor S is not greater than 40
Alternate pars of standards are braced
At least 50% of ties shall be fixed to ledger braced standards
Vertical interval of ties shall not exceed 4m
Conditions for basic scaffolds
Plan bracing is fitted every 4lifts and 12 bays unless facade bracing is across
braced pairs of standards
If sheeted the sheeting is attached to the ledgers and principle guardrails as a
minimum
When sheeted the top lift is tied at platform level
Façade bracing is fitted
Conditions for Free standing scaffolds
Not more than 6m high
The scaffold must not be sheeted or netted
Lift heights must not exceed 2m
Bay lengths no more than 2.1m
Only one lift boarded ( maximum loading 2kN/m2)
Scaffold width is either 4 boards plus one or five boards
Alternate pairs of standards are braced
Single un-joint tubes used for standards and rakers
Façade bracing fitted every five bays
Maximum wind factor S=26
Procedure to determine safe height of a Basic scaffold
Choose basic wind speed (vb) using Fig.7
Establish critical Direction of wind.
Establish topographical factor (T) using Fig.8
Establish the altitude
Calculate wind factor using
S=Vb x T x (1+A/1000)
Procedure to determine safe height of a Basic scaffold
Establish Town or Country
Determine closest upwind distance to sea.
Use flowchart 4 for independents to determine safe height.
