Is there a users guide/manual for T&F

[frederik]

Whenever a system is used,or breaks down,you will often hear,"did you follow the manual" or are you trained.
So when tube and fittings was first invented,did a manual come with it??

Yes it was written by the bouffont kid on a beer mat in the goat!!

Should imagine we were supposed to work to bs5973 but don't know whether there was a user guide to it

 

[frederik]

OK,who invented t&f and how was it tested?

Instructor,

Was there a guidance to BS 5973 so layman could understand it like TG20? Or should i say the layamn was 'supposed' to be able to understand!

 

[instructor]

The British standards for scaffolding (BS EN)

No, that's why tg20 came as such a shock.

pretty sure SGB wrote a manual years ago. Think Alan Read may have been involved?

 

[scaffy]

Hswt - are u reffering to the little yellow book

 

[Havespannerwilltravel]

No I think there was a big manual. Think Salamis had one for offshore as well.

 

[baboon]

all scaffold is tested to bsen standards and there is no mannual for scaffolding as such to my knowledge you got technical guidance(TG) and you got scaffolding guidance(sg)

 

[Havespannerwilltravel]

There is a technical manual for offshore scaffolding that is very comprehensive. Its called TMS-23-M-01

 

[bigfish]

There's a book called a guide to practical scaffolding,it's a citb book no.ce 509,it's as close as i think you'll get fred,pre tg20 so you'd need to add you're own technichal guide and safety guide

I have a copy of the Construction (Working Places) Regs 1966 S.I.1966 No 94 which contains some references to Scaffolding: it includes, Handrails, Bracing interestingly it shows the continous Facebrace as I was taught, nothing new there.
Boarding, suspended scaffolds bosuns chairs, trestle scaffolds, but the bit I dislike says Simple Scaffolds cheeky Beggars nothing simple in this game.

 

[SWIFTY]

Can you put it on here Toppers? It would be interesting to see.
