The NASC has updated its guidance for Scaffolding Operations During Coronavirus Pandemic

The updated COVID-19 guidance published by the National Access and Scaffolding Confederation is now at version 3.

The latest guidance from the NASC comes after the Construction Leadership Council updated its own Site Operating Procedures, and to ensure the NASC remains inline with the relaxing of Government guidance – ‘Working safely during COVID-19 in construction and other outdoor work – Version 4’.

The twelve paged NASC document titled Scaffolding Operations During the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic Version 3 mainly covers the ‘relaxed’ social distancing rules, it now allows 2.0m or 1.0m with risk mitigation measures where 2.0m is not viable and a few other relatively minor additional requirements.

The latest version is available here
