Scaffolding RAMS & Method Statement
Scaffolding RAMS have to satisfy TG20 or a bespoke design, and Principal Contractors will look for the design brief, the handover certificate and the inspection regime before they let a scaffold be used. This pack is built around SG4 and the NASC guidance a competent scaffolder is expected to work to.
