IMPORTANT

This is a professional standard template, not a project-approved method statement. It must be reviewed, completed and adapted for the scaffold type, classification, duty, dimensions, access arrangements, accepted design or compliance sheet, foundation conditions, ties, anchors, loading, interfaces, workforce, rescue arrangements, applicable legislation, standards and client requirements before use.

The completed project document must be reviewed and approved by appropriately competent and authorised temporary-works, scaffolding, HSE and project personnel.
