Rank: Super forum user		If scaffolding is used just to hang a protective tarpaulin coat on to protect the building and not used for access by persons does it still need inspecting weekly SBH

Rank: Forum user		You will also need to consider wind loadings on the tarpolin if it is external, may be worth you engaging with a scaffold designer.

Rank: Super forum user		Yes. Some of the more recent notable collapses have been of scaffold assemblies erected long-term in circumstances you describe. The scaffold you describe also IMHO requires a design approval.

Rank: Super forum user		Ron Not just your opinion re design - it is within both the BS EN and SG20 so expect the HSE to look askance at any lack of design.
