A lot a paperwork but that is what we are working to:D

Had a slight problem on site where the inside board had to be removed and transoms knocked back for renderers.

This leaves a gap of 275mm to wall from inside standard . With out reading all TG20 again what is the maximium gap allowed prior to an inside handrail being fitted . I thought on a light duty scaffold you was allowed a maximum gap of 300mm to allow a man to seated with his legs dangling.. I could be wrong but a little clarification would be a help.

Ive had the very same problem and was told by the nice HSE inspector the scaffold has to be "as close as is reasonably practicable" sounds like a non discript way of saying make your own mind up ,but if someone falls it wasn't close enough ,therefore your nicked.

Hi All
"No gap to give rise to risk of injury" is the law and that is what you will get nicked for. I have a site where that includes the 50mm between inside and main deck boards!!!!!!
300mm was the excepted gap in the old BS no longer load of bolloX but there you go
