Allan,
You can find details on page 34 of the latest NASC handbook which you can download for free at: http://issuu.com/constru...cs/nasc_2016_combined.v2
Basically it takes more consideration into TG20 compliant scaffolds, including:
Erecting floor height lifts
Bridging with beams
Loading bay gate installation
Cantilever scaffolding
Chimney stack scaffolding
New personal fall protection equipment
Hope this helps.

I was looking for something more specific to be honest (ive looked at the NASC yearbook).
Ive heard snippets such as twin tailed lanyards being mandatory and access/egress point needing to have triple guard rails.
Also heard that all lifts will need to be fully boarded between the standards to make dismantling easier (I cant see this personally due to the cost implication).
Thanks for the reply's so far.

First week in December I have been told this week from safety and access.
Can not see fully boarding coming into it as it does not work with tube and fitting as the swivels stick up making the outside boards sit up slightly unless every lift on singles and fully boarded and hand railed etc
I can not see much change tbh . Hopefully may understand that the step up is a joke and unpractical in most places. Never understood how its ok to hop up and 400mm square while W@H !!
Triple handrails will fall under TG20 not so much SG4
