The scaffolding industry in the UK has witnessed significant regulatory updates in 2025, aiming to enhance safety and operational standards across construction sites. These changes are pivotal for scaffolding companies operating in Essex, Suffolk, and nationwide, ensuring both compliance and the well-being of all stakeholders involved.
Key Regulatory Updates:
- Introduction of TG30:24 Operational Guide: The National Access and Scaffolding Confederation (NASC) has launched the TG30:24 Operational Guide, effective from June 2025. This guide provides comprehensive instructions on system scaffolding compliance, incorporating main manufacturers and offering generic engineering calculations to support adherence. Access to the TG30 ePortal is available to all subscribers until 31st August 2025, facilitating the production of system scaffolding compliance sheets. nasc.org.uk
- Emphasis on Competency and Training: Recent discussions in the UK Parliament have highlighted the critical importance of proper training and competency in the scaffolding sector. Tragic incidents, such as the one involving an unsecured scaffold board leading to a fatality, have underscored the need for stringent safety standards and mandatory membership in governing bodies for scaffolding personnel.
