    The key takeaways are that TG20 is a comprehensive guide for tube and fitting scaffolding that provides recognized standards for scaffold design and construction in accordance with regulations. It aims to ensure safer scaffolding practices.

    TG20 is a technical guidance document published by NASC that provides recognized standards for scaffold design and construction in accordance with regulations. Its purpose is to provide comprehensive good practice guidance for tube and fitting scaffolding to help ensure safer scaffolding practices.

    Some of the compliant scaffolding types described include tied independent scaffolding, towers, interior access birdcage scaffolding, tied putlog scaffolding, free-standing independent scaffolding, and loading bay scaffolding.

    Introducing TG20:13

    1
    Introducing TG20:13
     Official launch - 22nd November 2013 at the NASC AGM, Bristol
    ‘A comprehensive guide to good practice for tube and fitting
    scaffolding’

    2
    Work at Height Regulations 2005
    Schedule 3 – part 2 additional requirements for scaffolding

    7) Strength & stability calculations for scaffolding shall be


    carried out unless…

    a) A note of calculations, covering the structural


    arrangements contemplated is available; or,

    b) It is assembled in conformity with a generally


    recognised standard configuration.

    3
    HSE Support

    ‘The Work at Height Regulations 2005 require that


    strength and stability calculations are carried out for
    scaffolds unless they conform to a recognised standard…

    …HSE is pleased to acknowledge that TG20 has been


    written by NASC to provide such a standard…’

    Heather Bryant, Chief Inspector of Construction


    Health and Safety Executive

    4
    UKCG Support
    ‘We applaud and support the work of
    the NASC which will no doubt result in
    safer scaffolding…

    The UKCG recommend the adoption


    and standardised use of TG20:13…
    both within and outside the
    construction sector.’

    Stephen Ratcliffe,
    Director UK Contractors Group

    TG20 Compliant Scaffolding

     TG20 compliant scaffolds have been


    designed by structural calculation in
    accordance with BS EN 12811.

     Design advice should be sought for


    any scaffold outside of the scope of
    TG20 Compliant Scaffolding.

     TG20 compliant scaffolds were


    previously referred to as ‘Basic’ or
    ‘Standard’ Scaffolds.

    6
    TG20 Compliance Sheets

     Demonstrates compliance
    and that bespoke design is
    not required.
     Typical Scaffolds included
    in TG20:13 Operational
    Guide (Chapter 03).
     Wider variations included
    in the TG20 eGuide.
     Design advice must be
    sought for any scaffold
    outside the scope of a
    TG20 Compliance Sheet.

    7
    Simplified Wind Classifications
     Wind exposure affects the maximum height and
    tie duty, especially when sheeted or netted.
     A simple wind exposure classification illustrated
    here is used with the TG20 Compliance Sheets
    (chapter 3)
     A more accurate wind analysis is used in the
    TG20 eGuide, which can result in increased safe
    heights and reduced tie duties.
     Further advice is provided for designers in TG20
    Design Guide.
     Wind exposure is classified as ‘moderate’, ‘high’
    or ‘extreme’
     Other factors to be considered are ‘site
    topography’, ‘seasonal variations’ and ‘wind
    shielding in cities’
