I think the toe board was fitted correctly but someone else had moved it as the issue was with the inspection regime. Working from a poor memory so could be wrong.

R rob3rt Guest Nov 12, 2012 #12 so, that single fitting central against the toe board isn't standard practice? would it normally just be held at each end?
