The second annual International Scaffolding Championships has been postponed due to the fear of the global Coronavirus crisis.

The event which was originally scheduled to be held on the 24th April in Vilnius, Lithuania it will now take place at a later date.

Event organisers the Baltic Scaffolding Association (BSA) took the decision to postpone the championship over the growing concern of the COVID-19 virus.

Registration was open to any teams with six persons to compete who have skills and knowledge of the Layher Allround System.

Last year saw nine teams of scaffolders from some of the largest contractors in Europe compete in the competition. Teams had to safely erect and dismantle designed freestanding scaffolds against the clock.
