I am researching into scaffolding and the legislation applying to it. Would like information from all of you with regard dimensions of scaffolding, how far from the building should it be erected, etc.

Can email me direct with information on rpatterson@ekctech.com

Thanks

Robert Paterson

This question is not as simple as it seems because each manufacturer has to supply his own information on the safe use etc of their scaffolding.

The BS standard BS1139 and BS5973 are both being updated to European Norms.

Scaffold tube EN 39
Scaffold Fittings EN 74
BS5973 is being updated to EN 12811
BS1139 to HD1000 then EN1000

Good luck
Martin
