NASC Launches Second Phase of TG30 Scaffolding Guidance

Today, the National Access and Scaffolding Confederation (NASC) announced the launch of phase two of its TG30 guidance, which is described as a significant step forward for the scaffolding industry.

The update, which builds on the initial release of TG30 at ScaffEx24 last year, introduces several new developments aimed at improving safety, efficiency, and inclusivity across system scaffolding practices.

Among the key additions are the introduction of TG30 cup, pocket, rosette, and wedge stair towers, alongside new guidance for cup and wedge independent and tied tower scaffolding to complement the existing rosette system.

While TG30 is focused on system scaffolding, NASC confirmed that users of tube and fitting scaffolding under TG20 will also benefit from the changes, with stair towers now included as part of the TG20 compliance package for the first time.

“A Game-Changer”

Clive Dickin, Chief Executive of NASC, said the latest update represented a significant advancement for the sector.

“Tied towers have had a proven efficiency and safety improvement, which has resulted in their recognition as the preferred access system for scaffolding,” he said.

“This new capability within TG20 and the major enhancement of TG30 for phase two will be a game-changer. This continues NASC’s tireless work to build inclusivity into everything we do, with quality guidance at its core.”

TG30 phase two remains free of charge to current ePortal subscribers and forms part of a broader, scheduled roll-out, with further manufacturer updates planned throughout the year.

Mr Dickin also praised the efforts of those involved in delivering the project.

“It’s important we recognise the hard work of all involved in getting this release out on time and to budget,” he said. “It has taken a huge effort from all concerned, including the committee and the technical team.”

Raising Standards Across the Industry

The TG30 guidance, developed in collaboration with leading scaffolding system manufacturers, provides contractors with standardised compliance sheets and operational guidelines, helping to simplify project planning and ensure safety standards are met.

Phase two’s release is expected to support a growing move towards tied tower scaffolding as a preferred access method, with the NASC aiming to strengthen best practices across the industry.

Further updates to TG30 are expected later this year, as the NASC continues to expand its support for both system and traditional scaffolding methods.
