Scaffolding

[codger]

Hello lads. Was wondering if you could help me with an issue we have at work?
I'm a lecturer in electrical installation at a local college training young apprentice sparks. Part of the training involves getting the 1st stage lads to build a tower scaffold two sections high with all the necessary accessories that go with it.
The issue is that we feel we should be certificated in a suitable level of building. We have had advice before saying that we should be qualified not just to build the scaffold, but qualified to train people to build scaffolding.
Can anyone give me guidance on this or point me in the correct direction for advice. I've tried the HSE, but, to be honest, contacting them is like looking for the Holy Grail.

Much appreciated.

That's what it looks like, notice my complete disregard for H&S !!

Its a shame you have them stabilizer things on the bottom,if they were not there and you have wheels on the bottom,you could grab the purlins and push with your feet then swing along
The scaffold will move along nicely with no one to assist or any need to get down to move, but it can look dangerous,

so don't let an H+S guy see you do it
Poor dears have fragile hearts

Not another scaffolding argument lol

Same with podiums. Perfect for pulling cables on overhead basket
