Its the sort of ***** that you see all the time these days where we are. Young lads with a couple of years experience who are "scaffs" and want top money for knowing f*ck all.

At least he didnt stick a single over the top of the gutter
 
Here's a question for the engineers. Does a scaffold need to be tied across the width of the scaffold or is it just good practice.
 
Tony Mason,

it's not an engineers question,it's bog standard knowledge for any scaffolder

"Does a scaffold need to be tied across the width of the scaffold"

YES

of course,if its going to get hit with something it will more than likely be hit on the outside

if they tell me the inside legs fine at the ncc il accept that as you cant even climb onto the scaffstep without hooking on its that strict in there so il take theyr word for it and most jobs ive done and almost every job i see is tied on inside that will do me

tieing inside leg would be fine if using readylock i would say but i still tie over two legs with it tube and fitt i defo would
 
It's recommended that you tie through both inside and outside standards. Even with animals you woulds probably have to prove it to a safety guy

Look at it like this, what you are saying is most defiantly correct, on most building sites you will see only the inside leg tied especially on Yellow jelly because a longer tube is almost a hazard because it comes below the star on your standard, on them type of jobs you always use single tie in the centre and double at the ends were it won’t be a hazard. On most tube jobs you can tie double standard as you can put your lift slightly higher than 2m.

But always remember 2 doubles is stronger than 1, so if the inside double was to come loose for any reason the outside would support the tying tube and vice versa,90% of the time a suspended load from a crane will hit the outside of the scaffold.
