SG4:15 Preventing Falls in Scaffolding Operations

Since SG4’s inception, the true impact of this flagship guidance can be seen by the 82% reduction in the frequency rate of falls from height by NASC member operatives. This single statistic alone is extremely positive news, but NASC believe an even greater benefit derived from the publication of this guidance has been the change in mind set of scaffolding operatives across large parts of the industry.

SG4 has played no small part in the scaffolding industry becoming a far more professional trade, both in the minds of our clients and also those who work in what was once considered a ‘colourful industry’ by many.
