SG4:22—Preventing falls in scaffolding operations

NASC (National Access and Scaffolding Confederation) has launched its long awaited core document, providing industry best practice for fall prevention when erecting tube and fitting, and now also system scaffolding.

December 2022 saw the launch of NASC's (National Access and Scaffolding Confederation) SG4:22, Preventing Falls in Scaffolding Operations. This long awaited core NASC document replaces SG4:15, providing industry best practice for fall prevention when erecting tube and fitting, and now also system scaffolding. It features detailed scaffolding sector analysis and safety guidance, with key figures and illustrations to bring it to life.

The key changes are:

Removal of obsolete technology and embracing of the new updates to reflect changes brought in with another document, TG20:21.

Inclusion of modular system scaffolding as well as traditional tube and fitting, additional safety guidance on working on beams.

Hazards, risks and control measures required when working on fragile roofs.

Improved Safe System of Work for temporary roofs and the prevention of falls.
