The National Access and Scaffolding Confederation (NASC) has seen a sharp rise in downloads of its scaffold compliance guidance, following the launch of phase two of TG30 in May.
Over 10,000 compliance sheets for TG20 and TG30 were downloaded via the NASC ePortal during the month, a significant boost attributed directly to the new TG30 features. According to NASC’s latest newsletter, the portal has now recorded almost 430,000 downloads in total since its launch.
TG30 phase two introduces key developments in system scaffolding guidance, including tied towers and new stair tower configurations for cup, pocket, rosette, and wedge systems. It also brings, for the first time, stair towers into the TG20 compliance package — broadening the scope of the guidance and supporting users of both tube and fitting and system scaffolding.
Clive Dickin, Chief Executive of NASC, described the update previously as a “game-changer”.
“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 in a press release in May.
“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.”
Developed in collaboration with leading scaffolding system manufacturers, TG30 provides standardised compliance sheets and operational guidance to help contractors plan safer and more efficient scaffolding projects.
The guidance remains free to all current ePortal subscribers, with further manufacturer-specific updates scheduled later this year.
