  • Who is authorised to inspect a scaffold?
    Authorised scaffold inspectors includes:
    • A trained and competent person. Usually competence is proven by a person attending a CISRS Basic inspection or advanced inspection course
    • Any scaffolder who has refreshed their card (2 day CPD) will be permitted to inspect any scaffold structure that is within their competence
    • A part two (basic scaffolder – blue CISRS card) can inspect TG20 compliant (basic structures). An advanced scaffolder (gold card) can inspect bespoke scaffolds and advanced structures
  • How long can scaffolding be left up?
    Risk assessment dependent

    The period that a scaffold remains in a safe condition is dependent on many factors. These include the environment, location, exposure, external influences, abuse, duration and frequency of use.

    Due to the temporary nature of all scaffolding structures, there comes a time when the integrity of its components (due to corrosion and other types of deterioration) cannot be guaranteed.

    A decision should then be made to fully assess and possibly renovate or dismantle the structure. Then re-erect with serviceable and recently inspected tubes, fittings and boards etc. (NASC SG41.20).
