NASC Introduces TG30, Groundbreaking System Scaffolding Guidance

National Access and Scaffolding Confederation (NASC) has launched TG30, a guidance suite for system scaffolding,. This new initiative is set to transform the way system scaffolding is designed and implemented. TG30 has been developed in close collaboration with the manufacturers and suppliers of scaffolding systems to provide the scaffolding industry with practical guidance across the wide range of available system scaffolding.

The goal of TG30 is to provide a robust solution for system scaffolding guidance and compliance, comparable to that offered by TG20, which is the industry recognised guidance for tube and fitting scaffolding.

TG30 provides good practice guidance for those involved with the procurement, supply, design, construction and use of system scaffolding. The TG30 suite will consist of:

• The TG30 eGuide, allowing users to generate compliance sheets,
  • The TG30 Operational Guide,
  • The TG30 Design Guide, and
  • TG30 User Guide (A6 pocket sized booklet).

TG30 also provides scaffolding contractors with evidence that they are working to these good practices and to manufacturer guidance in the form of TG30 compliance sheets, which are consistent in format and approach to TG20 compliance sheets which have become the UK construction industry standard for tube and fitting scaffolding.

Colin Murphy from the Technical Committee and lead on Council for Digitisation said: “For basic system scaffolding structures where the cost of a design can often be prohibitive and the manufacturers user manual overly complex, the use of a TG30 compliance sheet will be a game changer, giving much needed reassurance to the client and ensuring a safe consistent approach to construction.”
