Industry Best Practices

At Curtis Scaffolding, safety, compliance, and technical excellence are at the core of everything we do. We are committed to operating in full alignment with industry-recognised best practices, ensuring every project is delivered to the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and reliability.

Compliance with TG20:21

All scaffold structures are designed, erected, and inspected in accordance with TG20:21 guidance. This ensures that:

  • Every scaffold configuration meets proven structural safety criteria
  • Load-bearing capacities are correctly calculated and adhered to
  • Standardised compliance sheets are used for consistency and transparency
  • Any non-standard designs are supported by bespoke calculations and design input

By following TG20:21, we provide our clients with confidence that all scaffolding systems are fit for purpose and fully compliant with current regulations.

Adherence to SG4: Preventing Falls in Scaffolding

The safety of our workforce and everyone on-site is paramount. Our operations strictly follow SG4 guidelines for safe working at height, focusing on:

  • The use of advanced guardrail systems to minimise fall risk
  • Safe methods of erection and dismantling (collective protection techniques)
  • Continuous training and competence assessment for all scaffolders
  • Practical risk reduction through proper planning and supervision

This approach significantly reduces the likelihood of accidents and ensures a safer working environment across all projects.

Skilled and Competent Workforce

Our team consists of fully trained and certified scaffolders who are regularly upskilled to stay current with evolving industry standards. We promote a strong safety culture, where best practices are not only followed but actively reinforced through:

  • Ongoing training programmes
  • Toolbox talks and site briefings
  • Regular audits and inspections
  • Clear communication at every stage of a project

Quality Assurance and Inspection

Every scaffold we erect undergoes rigorous inspection procedures, including:

  • Initial handover inspections
  • Scheduled weekly checks
  • Inspections following adverse weather or structural changes

Detailed records are maintained to ensure full traceability and compliance with legal requirements.

Commitment to Continuous Improvement

Curtis Scaffolding is dedicated to continuous improvement. We regularly review our processes, adopt new technologies, and implement updated guidance to ensure we remain at the forefront of the scaffolding industry.
