hi guys
i'm stuck for a clear answer from the contractor
and i need to prove it's NOT required to me SEQ team leader
so why "why no end bands on laminated boards"
BS 2482:2009 Specification for timber scaffold boards
BS 2482 specifies requirements for timber scaffold boards with a width of 225 mm and a thickness of either 38 mm or 63 mm.
It covers board sizing, board construction, and timber quality and grading, for which it specifies:
a) Two grades for 38 mm thick scaffold boards, as follows:
1) 1.2 m support centre – a grade that is suitable for support at centres up to 1.2 m, which may be selected by visual or machine strength grading
2) 1.5 m support centre – a grade that is suitable for support at centres up to 1.5 m, which may only be selected by machine strength grading.
b) A single grade for 63 mm thick scaffold boards that is suitable for support at centres up to 2.5 m, which may be selected by visual or machine strength grading.
BS 2482 does not cover laminated or finger-jointed scaffold boards.
This version of BS 2482 replaces BS 2482:1981, which is now withdrawn.
