GPS works alongside our clients to help them fulfil their legal safety obligations, with fair and unbiased independent inspections of their scaffold structures, whether they are TG20:21 compliant or bespoke designed scaffolds for the domestic, commercial, industrial sectors.
With the agreement of our client all scaffolds shall be inspected and marked using scafftag identification system by a competent person. Untagged scaffolds should not be used. Scafftag will be fastened near the access point of the scaffold in a clear and visible location. Upon inspection of scaffold, a comprehensive report along with photographic evidence will be produced and provided to support any findings, along with any recommendations to improve scaffold and make compliant. A copy of the scaffold report should be kept securely for 3 months after the scaffold has been dismantled and cleared from site, as stated in the Work at Height Regulations 2005.
All scaffolding inspection should be carried out by a competent person whose combination of knowledge, training and experience is appropriate for the type and complexity of the scaffold. Competence may have been assessed under the CISRS or an individual may have received training in inspecting a specific type of system scaffold from a manufacturer/supplier.
